Hardy Gives First Detailed Account of 2022 Tour Bus Crash on Rolling Stone Podcast

He attributes the wreck to a driver's medical crisis, detailing lasting anxiety and therapy.

Overview

  • The country artist recounted that the bus flipped three times and rolled down an embankment, leaving all four aboard seriously injured but alive.
  • He said the driver suffered either an aneurysm or a seizure shortly after pulling over, which sent the vehicle off the road.
  • Hardy described FaceTiming Morgan Wallen just before the crash, with Wallen still on the call as the bus overturned.
  • He crawled out through the shattered windshield and tried for about 30 minutes to flag down traffic with his hoodie because the bus was hidden from the highway.
  • He reported a fractured back and a severe head gash and later sought hospital care for panic attacks, undergoing EMDR therapy as he released a new album that grapples with mortality.
