LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 4, 2013)--Kellie Pickler's drummer Gregg Lohman was in serious condition Monday after a deadly highway accident Saturday near Louisville, Ky.

Lohman suffered serious head and neck injuries in the four-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 65, which happened about 15 minutes after a crash involving a tractor-trailer and an SUV on the northbound side.

Six people were killed in that first crash.

Lohman is not just a drummer, but family, Pickler said.

She said she believes in the power of prayer and asks fans to pray for him.
