Days after she and Zach Bryan were involved in a side-by-side UTV crash, the country star’s girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia shares details about the terrifying accident.
In a recent TikTok video, LaPaglia, who goes by her Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry, said that she and Bryan were out driving their UTV over the weekend when the side-by-side accident occurred. The impact caused the vehicle to flip.
“It flipped a bunch of times,” LaPaglia said about the UTV. “Everything shattered and thank God we had our seatbelts on. But there was a lot of blood, and we thought… we were saying goodbye to each other.”

Thankfully, an ambulance quickly arrived and treated the couple. Although the couple is doing ok following the accident, Zach Bryan ended up with a large gash on his arm that required stitches.
“He got all stitched up,”’ LaPaglia continued. “We were like, ‘Oh, my God, thank God, like it didn’t hit an artery.’ It was just a huge gash. We were OK. We are happy and alive.”
Despite the accident, Zach Bryan was able to make it to his scheduled performances on May 13 and 13 at Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Ark.
Along with LaPaglia’s TikTok video, Bryan also took to his Instagram Stories to express his gratitude for his girlfriend following the crash. “This lady holds the weight up of everyone around her day in and day out,” he declared. “Through these month long tour runs, to my degenerate a— making an album.”
Referring to LaPaglia as his “muse,” Zach Brayn said, “I don’t understand how the hell you hold it together when people around you can’t. Thank you forever and always no matter what.”
Zach Bryan’s Girlfriend Encourages Others to Follow Road Safety Rules
While continuing to discuss the UTV crash, Zach Bryan’s girlfriend said she wanted to encourage others to follow road safety rules.
“I will be that annoying person,” she said. “I will spend the rest of my life saying, ‘wear your seatbelt.’ 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 seatbelt.”
Although he was able to recover just fine, LaPaglia said Zach Bryan ended up reinjuring himself after one of their cats escaped the tour bus.
“Zach tries to jump on [the cat] and all of his stitches burst again,” she said. “He is bleeding everywhere. So much blood.”
Both she and Bryan didn’t have shoes on and had to walk over barbed wire while searching for the missing feline. Thankfully, the cat was eventually found and they were able to get back on the bus.
