OSAGE COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) — ‘Pioneer Woman’ Ree Drummond has issued an update and message of thanks after a head-on crash left one family member in critical condition and injured her husband.
Caleb G. Drummond, 21, is in critical condition at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa. He suffered head, internal torso, arm and leg injuries in a crash that occurred Wednesday afternoon near Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
He was driving south on a gravel road, while 52-year-old Ladd Drummond, Ree Drummond’s husband, was driving north.
High winds on the gravel road made it difficult to see, causing the two drivers to crash the trucks head-on, according to the news release.
The impact ejected Caleb Drummond approximately 70 feet.
Caleb was taken by ambulance to the Tulsa hospital. Ladd refused treatment at the scene.
Thursday, Ree gave an update and expressed her thanks via her Facebook page.
“I want to thank you all for your prayers for our family. Caleb and Ladd are in the hospital, but we think they will both be okay,” Drummond wrote. “As a family we are giving thanks today, knowing things could have been much worse. Thank you all for your love and kindness. It means a lot.”
There are no other details available on the condition of both men.
