Zach Bryan nearly died in a car accident.

The country singer, 28, and his girlfriend, Brianna LaPaglia (better known as Brianna Chickenfry), got into a “traumatizing” crash when they were on the road for his “Quittin Time” tour.

Chickenfry, 24, detailed the scary incident in a TikTok video shared Tuesday.

“Two nights ago, Zach and I got into a traumatizing side-by-side crash,” she said. “It flipped a bunch of times, everything shattered and thank God we had our seat belts on.”

“But there was a lot of blood,” Chickenfry added, “and we thought we were saying goodbye to each other.”

Luckily, the social media star said the couple were not severely injured after the crash.

“After the ambulance came, he got all stitched up we were like, ‘Oh my god, thank God. It didn’t hit an artery, it was just a huge gash.’ We were okay. We are happy and alive,” she said.

The duo made it to Little Rock, Ark., for Bryan’s shows on May 13 and May 14 after the accident. But when they returned to the bus, one of their cats escaped and Bryan got hurt again trying to find the pet.

“Zach tries to jump on her [and] all of his stitches burst again,” Chickenfry explained. “He is bleeding everywhere. So much blood.”

The couple found their cat and safely left Arkansas.

In a follow-up video, Chickenfry encouraged fans to always wear their seat belts when they are on the road.

“I will be that annoying person. I will spend the rest of my life saying, ‘wear your seat belts,'” she said. “If you get anything from me that I’ve ever posted in my whole entire social media career in the past five years, it’s wear a seat belt.”

The Post reached out to Bryan’s rep for comment.

“This lady holds the weight up of everyone around her day in and day out,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories. “Through these month long tour runs, to my degenerate ass making an album.”

“You’re my muse Brianna and I don’t understand how the hell you hold it together when people around you can’t,” he added. “Thank you forever and always no matter what.”

The couple met at the 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards when Chickenfry asked Bryan for a photo together. Chickenfry confirmed their relationship on her “PanBri Uncut” podcast last July.
