SOLANGE KNOWLES - KNOWLES' LUCKY ESCAPE IN BUS CRASH

KNOWLES' LUCKY ESCAPE IN BUS CRASH

SOLANGE KNOWLES cheated death as she returned from a show in Texas - when her tourbus careered into a herd of deer.
The singer was relaxing in her bed on the coach as she headed to Houston after a gig in Austin on Tuesday (10Mar09) night when the terrifying accident happened.
The impact threw a member of her backing band to the floor, injuring his hand - but miraculously Knowles and the rest of her road crew escaped unharmed.
And the younger sister of R&B star Beyonce admits she briefly thought she would die as the bus driver struggled to control the swerving vehicle.
Writing on social networking website Twitter.com, Knowles says, "I'm on the phone baking like betty in my bus bunk and CRASH! Thought I was dead, but turns out we ran into a family of dear...I can't believe it. Were all ok tho! Guitar player flew out of bunk n hurt his hand a little...But I'm saying a huge prayer of thanks right now. God is good ALL the time!"
