Heroku db:migrate Error

I am still a rails beginner and I am trying to deploy an app to heroku but when trying to run the:

heroku run rake db:migrate

I am getting an error:

PG::DataCorrupted: ERROR:  could not read block 6 in file "base/18350/12684": read only 0 of 8192 bytes
: CREATE TABLE "searches" ("id" serial primary key, "city_id" integer, "num_weeks" integer, "num_seats" integer, "start_date" date, "student_name" character varying(255), "program_id" integer, "user_id" integer, "created_at" timestamp, "updated_at" timestamp) 
rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

Here is the migration:

class CreateSearches < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :searches do |t|
      t.integer :city_id
      t.integer :num_weeks
      t.integer :num_seats
      t.date :start_date
      t.string :student_name
      t.integer :program_id
      t.integer :user_id

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

I am not quite sure what is going on, any help would be appreciate it.

I was having the same issue yesterday and contacted heroku support team, the database is working again, bellow is the response

Unfortunately, it looks like there was an issue with your database last night which caused an outage for a couple hours, however it's since been recovered by one of our on-call database engineers. This issue wasn't caused by you at all, it was a hardware failure on the host server.

Hope this helps.
