"One of the tour buses transporting cast and crew of Dancing with the Stars: Live! Light Up The Night was involved in a multi-car accident this afternoon due to bad weather while en route to Ames, Iowa. All cast and crew members are fine, with some recovering from minor injuries," a representative of the show said in a statement. 

"Given this unforeseen accident, and the fact that the safety and health of our cast and crew are of the utmost importance, tonight's show at Stephens Auditorium in Ames, IA has been canceled," added the representative.

The cast and crew members have sent wishes of a speedy recovery to all those who were injured in the accident and also apologized to fans who have been anticipating the show. The statement also announced that details regarding the rescheduling or refunds will be available soon.

According to KCCI, one person died while five others who were critically injured were rushed to a hospital immediately. The fatal accident reportedly involved more than 70 vehicles.

Local Patrol Sgt Nathan Ludwig told KCCI that at least seven people died on the roads of Iowa on Monday. 

Jordan Fisher, the previous winner of the reality show, who was also involved in the fatal accident, shared a post on Twitter saying: "Thanking God for the safety of our crew. Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes."

Other DWTS members, who met with the accident, also took to social media to assure fans that they were fine.

We took this picture last night after being involved in the I-80 road accident in Iowa, on our ride out. Thinking of everyone who was involved. Just wanted to let people who were asking know that we are ok and are so grateful that non of us on the tour bus was hurt. Everyone was checked out and we’re back with our group. It’s difficult to feel overly positive when there are so many people less fortunate than us. My heart truly goes out to all who was involved and most definitely to all the service men and women who were on the scene almost immediately helping out everyone trapped in their vehicles. And lastly, thank you to our bus driver Billy who undoubtedly saved us yesterday. It’s definitely a day we won’t forget. @sashafarber1 @lindsarnold @samcusick @brandon_armstrong94
