Katy Perry's golden "Prism" promotional semi-trailer is up and running after being hit by a drunk driver this weekend in Pennsylvania.

As part of a promotional tour campaign to advertise her new single "Roar," Perry is traveling in a gigantic 18-wheel semi-trailer truck across the U.S.

The truck was hit in a Walmart parking lot at around 5:00 p.m. on Aug. 9 by a smaller semi-truck which was being driven by a drunk driver

The driver, who initially fled the scene of the crash, later returned to face the music according to TMZ.

Perry sent out a tweet to her 40 million followers on Twitter to confirm that the bus was alright.

The truck gained support from all-over the world as people sent get-well tweets to the truck or pictures of the vehicle with digitally imposed band-aids.

The crash wasn't the only problem Perry has had to deal with lately, as "Roar" was leaked to the world early by a hacker.

After learning of the leak, Perry's record label let radio stations across the country play the song on Aug. 10 and told iTunes to make the song available for purchase early as well according to The Guardian.

"Roar" is predicted to go Number 1 this week in a number of different countries around the world.

"Prism" is scheduled to be released on Oct. 22 in the U.S. Her last album, the multi-platinum "Teenage Dream," was released in 2010 and produced hits like "Last Friday Night," "California Gurls" and "Firework."
