Strong winds blew the bus carrying Britney Spears’ tour equipment off the road in Parkes, New South Wales, Australia, TMZ reports.

The driver was hospitalized for injuries suffered in the rollover accident. Strong winds have been complicating firefighting efforts in NSW for weeks now.

The equipment was all OK for Friday night’s concert in Melbourne. Though, would it really have mattered if the microphones got a bit dinged up?

Probably not.

Best wishes to the driver for a speedy recovery.
