Nearly one week after the tragic bus crash that killed Josh Turner’s sound man, Josh has finally made a statement.

“As I try to write this I don’t know what to say. It’s a struggle to put into words the devastation and grief that our road family is trying to process. Please continue to keep David’s family in your prayers. I would ask that you give them privacy at this time.”

Josh’s management set up a GoFundMe to help the men and their families. Last week the tour bus crashed and went down an 80 foot cliff in California. What we did not know then but we know now is that there was a trailer of equipment that was being pulled behind the bus, and that trailer flipped on top of the bus.
