Zach Bryan is recovering from a bad car crash suffered while driving to his concert in Little Rock, AR on Monday night (May 13), according to his girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia.
On TikTok, LaPaglia, a BarStool Sports personality who hosts the PlanBri Uncut podcast, posted a video detailing the "traumatizing" incident, in which their tour bus flipped "a bunch of times."
“I’m just going to rant for a second because I think I’m nearing a mental breakdown and I’ve been living on a bus for the past month so that doesn’t help,” LaPaglia said. “Two nights ago, Zach and I got into a traumatizing side-by-side car crash. It flipped a bunch of times, everything shattered and thank God we had our seatbelts on but there was a lot of blood and we thought we were saying goodbye to each other.”
Thankfully paramedics arrived to treat the couple, who from the sounds of it, were very lucky not to have suffered any serious injuries.
“After the ambulance came and he got all stitched up, we were like, ‘Oh my God, it didn’t hit an artery,” she added. “It was just a huge gash, we were OK, we are happy and alive.”
The car crash occurred as Bryan and LaPaglia were en route to Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, where he was scheduled to perform two shows on May 13 and 14.
LaPaglia adds that immediately after the ordeal, their cat Mango escaped from the tour bus and ran into the forest. The two of them went off looking for the cat and apparently Bryan burst some of his stitches and lost "a lot of blood" in the process of retrieving the pet. Despite all that, the country star was able to play both shows.
In a follow-up video, LaPaglia added, "I will be that annoying person. I will spend the rest of my life saying 'wear your seatbelts.'"
