Lady Antebellum‘s trip to Dallas for this weekend’s Academy of Country Music Awards caught a snag when the bus carrying Lady A vocalist Hillary Scott, her husband Chris Tyrell, the band’s tour manager, and driver caught fire this morning. Fellow Lady Antebellum members Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood were not on board the bus.

Scott posted a photo of the charred bus to social media, along with a note reassuring fans that they are fine.

“Hey guys, we had a crazy morning on the way to Dallas today. Our bus tire caught on fire and we had to evacuate very quickly. EVERYONE IS SAFE AND SOUND. It was me, my husband, our tour manager, and driver. Thanking God for our safety and the safety of all of those who helped put this fire out and keep us safe. Love you all!!!! ~hillary”

According to the local Garland CBS affiliate, the bus driver stopped after a rear tire blew out, and everyone evacuated. The bus then burst into flames. No other cars were involved in the event.
