A crew bus and one truck involved with the Shania Twain “Queen of Me” tour were involved in a rollover near Wolseley, Saskatchewan.

In a statement to CTV News, Maverick Management confirmed the vehicles – which were travelling from Winnipeg to Saskatoon – were part of the tour.

“Members of the production crew who require medical attention have been taken to nearby hospitals. We are incredibly thankful to the emergency services teams for their quick response and ongoing support,” the statement read.

“We ask for patience as we look after our touring family.”

It was raining and freezing temperatures that night and that section of road is wide open prairie. I’d be willing to bet the driver didn’t know shit about driving to conditions.

Uh...these guys are trained drivers. They understand the concept of rain and freezing temperatures causing icy roads. Do you think everybody that hits black ice and slides off the road "doesn't know shit about driving to conditions"?

I know exactly where this happened, have driven through Wolseley many, many times. There’s a big curve on the highway that is treacherous during icy conditions and several lives have been lost there in the past. They are very lucky. My understanding is that potion of the highway was actually closed to traffic at the time, so not sure why they were driving.

Has a van/trailer roll over in that area about 15 years ago, not fun.

Place looks like actual hell on earth
Only person living in that area is Brock Lesner raising his family in a cave

A trained professional driver does.

Definitely not the first or last band band/semi to crash leaving from ND to Canada or vice versa. Wind and barely freezing temps easily cause black ice that is not visible at night until it’s is too late.
