## Summary

Country artist Colt Ford says he was pulled through the windscreen of his tour bus by emergency responders after it crashed into a ditch while travelling to Germany for a show. He suffered a broken shoulder, while the rest of the crew were reportedly left “a little banged up” but safe; the incident may affect forthcoming performances.

The crash follows other serious health difficulties for Ford, who suffered a heart attack two years ago and later recovered.
