Ree Drummond‘s cousin is in critical condition following an accident on Drummond Ranch.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, 21-year-old Caleb Drummond and 52-year-old Ladd Drummond drove separate vehicles when they collided head-on due to strong winds over grass and gravel. Caleb was pushed out of his truck about 70 feet from his resting place. He was transported to a local hospital and was admitted in critical condition with injuries to his head, torso, arm and leg.
The Pawhuska Fire Department also confirmed to E! News that Caleb was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Ladd was signed out by professionals but refused treatment at the scene.
According to Osage County Emergency Management, who spoke to local News News at 6, there was only one firefighter in each vehicle and they collided on each driver’s side. The two firefighters are farm workers.
E! News reached out to Ree’s team for comment. In a previous blog post, the Pioneer Woman star reflects that her nephew has reached an important milestone in school.
‘Caleb, my cousin, graduated Friday night! It was surreal; there’s no way he’s old enough to go to high school, ‘Ree wrote back in May 2018.’ And then we did it again the next day for [our daughter] Paige! “
