Comedian Bert Kreischer and his crew are safe after one of their three tour buses caught fire Sunday afternoon on a Minnesota interstate.
According to Minnesota State Patrol Lieutenant Mike Lee, a state trooper and firefighters responded to a report of a coach bus on fire along eastbound Interstate 94.
Authorities said the driver was the only person present when the bus caught fire.
Kreischer, star of the Netflix series “Free Bert,” later posted an image online showing the heavily burned bus.
The entire front portion of the bus was burned and unrecognizable, but the back of the bus sustained only smoke damage, a publicist for Kreischer told NBC Los Angeles.
“We are all safe but my bus is gone,” Kreischer wrote. “God works in mysterious ways.”
Hours earlier, Kreischer had live streamed about experiencing a tire blowout and being stranded on a snow-covered highway.
Kreischer and his crew are currently on tour and were heading to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after their Saturday night show in Fargo, North Dakota.
After the tire blowout, Kreischer said the group switched buses.
Following the fire, Kreischer shared on Instagram that they stopped at a nearby store to buy clothes.
State troopers said no other vehicles were affected by the incident, and no injuries were reported.
“Everyone is very lucky as we would’ve been asleep when the fire started and may not have had time to exit through the smoke in flames as we all sleep in the back of the bus,” Kreischer’s publicist noted.
