Just hours after leaving the 2013 Chili Cookoff the duo posted this:  “A woman just didn’t (sic) see us early this morning and hit us as we crossed the highway,” along with this photo of the side of their tour bus.  The tweet has since been deleted.  It appears the accident happened around 5am somewhere near Nashville.

Thankfully it looks to be a minor accident.  It is unclear who was on the bus, besides Shawna & Keifer.
