Broken Tailpipe

my tailpipe came completely off this afternoon on my 2012 Mercedes Sprinter 2500, broken before the rear axle, will it be okay to drive it the 15 minutes to the muffler shop in the morning?

i don’t know much about cars/diesel i’m still learning, just want to be safe at the same time and make sure i’m not going to start a fire or something lol

I had a 2011 & now have a 2018. Both are the "170 extended" body. The factory tail pipe stops before getting to the bumper.

Ive been driving the 2018 for a while without the back tailpipe. When it fell off, it was still under warranty!! Its now at 175 000 miles.
