Willie Nelson Bus Crash Injures 3 Band Members; Shows Postponed

Willie Nelson postponed his remaining November tour dates after his band was involved in a bus crash over the weekend in Texas.

The tour bus that was carrying Nelson's band crashed into a bridge pillar on Interstate 30 about 80 miles east of Dallas early Saturday morning. Three of the five musicians on board sustained minor injuries. The 80-year-old country singer was on a separate bus that was not involved in the accident.

"We believe [the crash was] due to icy conditions on the road," Willie Nelson and Family wrote on its website. "No one suffered serious injuries. Paul English injured his ankle, Billy English suffered a bruised hip, and crewmember Tom Hawkins has a cracked rib. The other family members on the bus are sore but everyone is expected to recover fully."
