Rock singer Sawyer Hill's tour bus flipped near the Colorado-Wyoming border after the driver suffered a medical emergency, killing him and injuring four others.

Singer Sawyer Hill's tour bus flipped and crashed near the Colorado-Wyoming border last Wednesday when the driver suffered a medical emergency. The vehicle ran off the side of the road and rolled at around 2:20 a.m., injuring four people on board. The driver, David Jackson, 50, died as a result of the crash.

Jackson's family revealed he had been living with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a condition caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, as well as epilepsy. An autopsy confirmed he died before the crash occurred. The bus was a 2024 Freightliner M2 operated by Wyoming Highway Patrol at the time of the incident.

Hill, 27, described the experience as 'terrifying' on Instagram. He wrote that 'several members of the crew and band were injured in the crash' but said 'the cause of the crash is still under investigation'. Jackson's daughter-in-law wrote on a fundraising page that 'there was no warning' and that Jackson 'crossed three lines of traffic before eventually rolling'.

Hill announced he is cancelling his 'Everybody's Home, Nobody's Happy' tour, stating that after 'careful consideration' there was no 'viable path' for continuing. He said his focus and priority is on his band and crew 'processing and healing'. The singer indicated tour dates may be rescheduled and refunds are available for ticket holders.
