Country rapper Colt Ford said he was rescued through the shattered windshield of his tour bus after it crashed in Germany, leaving the musician with a broken shoulder. The 56-year-old shared details of the accident in an Instagram post on Wednesday. “One minute you’re headed to Germany for a show and prepping for single release the next thing you know your Bus is in the ditch and you’re getting pulled through a windshield with a broken shoulder by First Responders,” Ford wrote. “The crew is a little banged up but we’re all still here.” He shared a picture of his tour bus stuck in a grassy ditch with major damage to the windshield and the front passenger side. Ford had been scheduled to perform on Saturday at Tailgate X in Ballenstedt, Germany, and at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on August 19. The crash comes two years after Ford survived a near-fatal heart attack during a 2024 performance in Gilbert, Arizona. He later told Mayo Clinic, “I died twice that day,” after undergoing 10 hours of surgery and being placed in a medically induced coma. Ford added: “Live every day like it’s your last because one day it will be.”
