Zach Bryan and his girlfriend, podcaster Brianna LaPaglia, were both injured after their off-road vehicle crashed and flipped multiple times.
LaPaglia described the “traumatic” accident on TikTok, saying the pair were side-by-side who “ran multiple times, everything fell apart.” Fortunately, the two were wearing their seat belts, but LaPaglia added, “There was a lot of blood and we were like saying goodbye to each other.”
An ambulance came to the pair's aid, and Bryan needed multiple stitches for a “huge gash,” though he did not specify where on his body the injury occurred. LaPaglia also said she suffered several bruises and scratches and even “took glass out of my cheek.” But otherwise, she said the couple was relieved: “We were fine, we're happy and alive.”
A few hours after the accident, Bryan and LaPaglia were preparing to get back on the singer's tour bus to drive to his next shows in Arkansas. When they opened the bus door, however, one of their pet cats ran out and ran into the woods.
“Zach tries to jump on her, all his stitches burst again, he's bleeding everywhere … so much blood,” LaPaglia said. (Thankfully, the cat, named Mango, was recovered after a difficult search.)
A representative for Bryan did not immediately return a call Rolling rockhis request for comment. Despite the injuries, the musician was able to perform the last two nights, May 13 and 14, in Little Rock, Arkansas. In a video from one of the concerts, Bryan appeared to have a bandage wrapped around his right arm.
Along with playing the two Arkansas shows, Bryan was his usual self on social media, thanking fans who came out to the concerts and posting signature musings like “Keep your head down, it goes on forever.” He was also looking forward to his ascending points to Oklahoma, his first in his home state in half a year, quipping, “he's going to try not to get arrested” (a nod to his brush with the law last fall).
