“One of the tour buses transporting cast and crew of ‘Dancing with the Stars: Live! Light Up The Night’ was involved in a multi-car accident this afternoon due to bad weather while en route to Ames, Iowa,” the show said in a statement.

“All cast and crew members are fine, with some recovering from minor injuries.”

It’s unclear who was on the bus, but pros Keo Motsepe, Emma Slater, Artem Chigvinstev, Sharna Burgess, Gleb Savchenko, Lindsay Arnold and Alan Bersten are on the tour, as well as troupe members Jenna Johnson, Hayley Erbert, Brandon Armstrong and Sasha Farber.

The celebrity dancers for the tour are Jordan Fisher and “Malcolm in the Middle” alum Frankie Muniz.

“Thanking God for the safety of our crew. Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes,’ Fisher tweeted after the crash.

Muniz had posted earlier in the day about the snowstorm that swept through Iowa.

“Riding in the bus on our way to the show tonight in Ames, Iowa, looking out the window at the snow covered ground in this crazy blizzard listening to unreleased songs of a band I was in 8 years ago,” he tweeted.

The snowy pileup along Interstate 80 killed one person and sent at least five others to the hospital in critical condition, authorities said Monday.

“Dancing with the Stars” canceled its show Monday night after the accident.
