A tour bus carrying Country singer Jason Aldean was involved in a fatal accident overnight in Knox County, Ind. The accident occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m. Monday (Oct. 28) on Old U.S. 41. According to deputies, Albert Kennedy, of Vincennes, Ind., walked in front of Aldean’s bus, and was fatally struck. Neither Aldean nor the bus driver were injured, and the accident remains under investigation.
Aldean released a statement regarding the accident. The statement reads:
“With a heavy heart, I’m sad to say that a man passed away last night after stepping out in front of my bus in Indiana. In all the years I’ve been touring and all the miles we’ve driven, nothing prepares you for something like this to happen. I’m praying for Albert Kennedy’s family and friends today and ask that you do the same.”
