The cast and crew of the Dancing with the Stars: Live! Light Up The Night tour are okay today, apart from a few minor injuries, after their bus was part of a massive pile-up in Iowa on Monday.

Jordan Fisher, who won the competition show, tweeted after the incident.

Thanking God for the safety of our crew. Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes. https://t.co/CLCOD3R0rx

According to USA Today, 50 to 70 vehicles were involved in the crash, which happened outside of Ames. Heavy snowfall caused the accident, which brought I-35 to a standstill in both directions. One person died in the wreck and six others are in critical condition because of it.

Ahead of the pile-up, cast member Frankie Muniz tweeted about the rough weather.

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...

The cast was on their way to perform at Iowa State University but the gig was later cancelled. In a statement, organizers said, "To anyone involved in the accident, the entire cast sends their best wishes for a speedy recovery, and their deepest apologies to all of the fans who have been waiting to see the show tonight."
