"Yesterday, my drummer Gregg Lohman was in a horrific car accident and is currently in ICU. Gregg is not just my drummer, he is family. I believe in miracles and the power of prayer, so it would mean the world to me, my band, and Gregg’s family if you would please keep him in your prayers. Thank y'all so much."

Larry Fitzgerald, Pickler's manager, issued the following info on Gregg:

"We know Gregg was taken from the accident on life-flight to a hospital in Kentucky with serious injuries, and we have learned he is in ICU. We are asking for your thoughts and prayers for he and his family during this critical time."

A four-vehicle wreck in the southbound lanes happened about 15 minutes after a fiery crash involving a tractor-trailer and an SUV on the northbound side of the highway.

The two crashes shut down the busy stretch of highway for about five hours. The police are investigating whether "rubbernecking" was the cause of the wrecks in the southbound lanes.
