A popular early 2000s rock band’s tour bus was involved in a deadly crash on I-26<\/a> Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Buckcherry, formed in 1995, surged into the mainstream with the release of their 2005 album “15.” The band released a social media statement on Saturday announcing all band members and touring crew were uninjured in the crash.<\/p>\n

The crash happened at approximately 2 a.m. on Friday morning, Aug. 21, at mile marker 31, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation. The crash prompted officials to shut down all eastbound lanes for several hours.<\/p>\n

According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, a pedestrian had previously been involved in a crash in the area. When the driver exited the car, they were hit in the roadway.<\/p>\n

Troopers say the pedestrian died on scene.<\/p>\n

The band said their scheduled performance at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is expected to go on as planned.<\/p>\n
