Country music star Travis Tritt involved in multi-vehicle crash that left two dead

Country music star Travis Tritt's bus was sideswiped while avoiding a fatal wreck in Horry County early Saturday morning. Tritt was not hurt.

The collision occurred just after 3 a.m. on South Carolina Highway 22 near the 16 mile marker, according to Cpl. Sonny Collins of the South Carolina Highway Patrol.

A 2014 Jeep was traveling east but going the wrong direction and hit a 2014 Dodge pickup truck head on in the westbound lane, according to Collins.

The driver of the Jeep and a passenger in the Dodge were killed and the driver of the Dodge was taken to the local hospital, Collins said. Everyone in the vehicles was wearing a seat belt, Collins said.

Tritt's tour bus and another vehicle made contact while avoiding the original crash, Collins said. He said the contact between those vehicles "was minor."
