UPDATE (4/6/16 9 AM):

According to the driver the tour bus was going south on I-77 towards Charleston when the driver started to choke. That is what caused him to drift into the northbound lane and then exit the road. The driver said he choked on his coffee.

I-77 northbound is down to one lane while they prepare to tow the bus out, and once they begin towing the bus, both northbound lanes of I-77 will be shut down.

The Jackson County Sheriff's is investigating the accident.

According to The Clay Center, the show will go on as scheduled.
