News 10 Comments


Country artist Creed Fisher was seriously injured after being involved in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident on August 10th in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, near St. Cloud. Fisher was scheduled to play a show at Rollie’s on August 10th in Sauk Rapids when the accident occurred. Fisher is currently in the hospital in St. Cloud recovering from the injuries.

According to fellow country music artist Jesse Keith Whitley and others, Creed Fisher suffered a collapsed lung, which doctors were able to fix. However, he also suffered multiple broken fingers, severe road rash, as well as a pelvis injury that requires Fisher to have surgery on Tuesday (8-13).

Since the accident was characterized as a hit-and-run, Saving Country Music reached out to the local Sheriff’s department to see if the suspect was still at large. According to Benton County Sheriff Troy Heck, they do know the suspect’s identity, but are not sharing it publicly at this time per Minnesota law as the investigation continues.

According to a statement from Sheriff Troy Heck about the accident:

Investigating deputies determined that prior to the crash, Fisher had been at a residence in rural Benton County with friends. Deputies learned Fisher left the residence with two other men, Kyle Michael Crone … and another man Fisher had only me that day … the three men were intent on driving to Rollie’s … and the man whom Fisher had met that day volunteered to guide Fisher and Crone to the bar. The investigation revealed that immediately prior to the crash, the man leading the group had gone ahead of Fisher and Crone, causing them to lose sight of this driver.

Fisher and Crone reported that as they continued on their route, they rounded a curve and saw the third man stopped in the roadway on his motorcycle a short distance ahead. Fisher and Crone reported slowing down as they approached the third man who was still stopped in the roadway. As Fisher maneuvered to drive around the third man to the left, the man abruptly turned his motorcycle to the left and moved into the path of Fisher’s motorcycle. Fisher was unable to avoid the man’s motorcycle, resulting in the collision that caused Fisher’s injuries.

The third man attempted to get Fisher up off the ground, but Fisher was unable to get up due to the injuries. Fisher and Crone told deputies that this third man then fled the scene of the accident on foot. Police officers searched for the third driver at the time of the crash but were unable to locate him. Subsequent investigation has resulted in deputies establishing the identity of the person believed to be the third driver. The investigation into this case is active and on-going.


Creed Fisher’s tour schedule is full through most of 2024. As soon as the details of his recovery and rehabilitation are known, an updated assessment of his tour dates will be given.
