The Texas Department of Safety has reported that two people were killed, and 10 others injured, in an accident involving a semi truck and the tour bus of popular rock/metal band The Ghost Inside.
The incident occurred on Thursday morning, near mile marker 63 of Highway 180 in Hudspeth County, Texas.
According to KFOX-TV, the driver of the tour bus, 31-year-old Gregory Hoke, and the driver of the semi truck, 64-year-old Steven Cunningham, both passed away in the crash.
Two band members suffered serious injuries and were airlifted to the hospital. The other 3 band members, as well as 5 crew members, were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries. A GoFundMe page was created to raise funds for the band members’ medical bills and surpassed $90,000 in donations in less than 24 hours.
Initial reports indicate that the tour bus was traveling west and collided head-on with the semi truck which was headed east, however details are still scarce.
The highway was reopened several hours after the crash. The investigation is still underway.
