HARDY, Morgan Wallen and Blake Shelton's songwriter, was released from the hospital with "significant injuries" Sunday morning after his tour bus was involved in "an accident" outside of Nashville.
Tennessee Highway Patrol officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that an overturned tour bus crash occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Interstate 40 West. No further details were provided as the investigation is ongoing.
"Following last night’s show, our tour bus was in an accident on our way home from Bristol," the country musician wrote on his social media platforms. "There were just four of us, including myself, on the bus, however we were all treated for significant injuries.

He added: "I’ve been released from the hospital, but ordered by doctors to recover for the next few weeks which may cost us at a couple of shows."
