~~The drummer for Kellie Pickler is hospitalized in Kentucky following a four-car accident Saturday.
Gregg Lohman was in serious but stable condition.
The accident occurred Saturday morning around 11:30 a.m. and involved four cars traveling in a southbound lane of Interstate 65. Another accident, one that killed six people, occurred in a northbound lane of the same area about half an hour before and may have contributed to the second wreck.
Pickler posted a message on Facebook and Twitter Sunday: "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."
