According to the Texas Department of Transportation, their tour bus collided with a 18-wheeler truck at about 9:16 am local time. The crash occurred at mile marker 63, just past the Border Patrol checkpoint, 38 kilometres East of El Paso.

The Ghost Inside were travelling to Mesa, Arizona as part of their Locals Only tour. The band has cancelled all remaining dates, with refunds available for ticket holders.

The Ghost Inside are slated to join The Amity Affliction and A Day To Remember on the Big Ass Tour in Australia and New Zealand this December.

Our thoughts are with the driver’s family, The Ghost Inside and their crew.

This is a developing story. We will update information as it emerges.
