Bert Kreischer counted his blessings after narrowly avoiding disaster.
The comedian was grateful to be safe Sunday after his bus caught on fire the night before while he was on tour in the Midwest.
Kreischer, 53, admitted his team was safe despite the blaze and noted on social media that “God works in mysterious ways.”
“Alright, here’s everything you need to know about the bus,” Kreischer told his fans on Monday while sharing a carousel of images featuring the burnt remains of the bus.
HARDY DETAILS TERRIFYING MOMENT HE THOUGHT HE WAS ‘DEAD’ IN DEVASTATING TOUR BUS CRASH
About one hour after departing from a tour stop in Fargo, North Dakota, the front right tire blew and was “totally ripped” off the rim.
“Both bus drivers said they’d never seen anything like it in their 35 years,” he said. “We waited for a couple of hours, and then we ditched the bus and got on the crew buses and drove into Cedar Rapids. That morning, our bus caught on fire on the road.”
Kreischer, whose “Free Bert” Netflix series was picked up for another season Monday, shared images of the charred bus with his followers on Instagram.

“Here’s the good thing to know – had we slept on that bus, we all would have been trapped in the back and be dead today. Yesterday, we would have been dead yesterday.”
He added, “So, it was a blessing that we had a blow out. It was a blessing. So today, as frustrated as you may get, realize everything is a blessing. God works in mysterious ways.”
While no one was hurt on board, Kreischer and his crew had to buy new clothes after losing everything on the bus.
