Miranda Lambert is "thankful" that "nobody was hurt" after she and husband Brendan McLoughlin were involved in a hit-and-run accident in Georgia.

The "BlueBird" singer, 37, said on Instagram Thursday the couple cut their road trip short and made it safely back to Nashville after they were "side swiped" near Atlanta.

"An (expletive) in a small car with temp plates was driving erratically and tried to squeeze between us and (a) semi truck going 70," the country music star wrote, sharing a video of the damage. "It hit the airstream (trailer) on the passenger side and sent us into the left lane. We fishtailed pretty good but got on the shoulder as quickly as possible to assess the damage."

Lambert continued: "Nobody was hurt thank the good Lord…We are so thankful that nothing worse happened."

Although the erratic driver "sped away" without stopping, Lambert said their "vehicle and trailer were driveable," thanks to her husband's quick actions.

"@brendanjmcloughlin kept our trailer pretty steady for being side swiped," she applauded her husband, who she quietly married in January 2019.

Lambert also thanked her mother: "I called mama right away to say that I know her prayers are always heard cause I know she prays for us every morning about 4:30 am. Especially when we are on the road."

"Overall it was an amazing trip," she said. "We learned we have a lot to see and a lot to be grateful for."

For his part, McLoughlin said the trip not only "left me speechless," but also "10 pounds heavier and made me realize exactly why I keep my gym membership."

"Attach the airstream to the hitch, get in the car and go," he wrote on Instagram Wednesday. "Traveling, no matter where it is, has always been a love of mine. Walking the streets of a place you’ve never been, learning the history, it’s absolutely fascinating. Anyone who knows me though, knows my absolute love for food."

Last month, Lambert and McLoughlin celebrated their two-year anniversary. "2 years hitched!" Lambert celebrated on Instagram. McLoughlin added: "Happy anniversary to this amazing woman."
