"Caleb broke some ribs, had a pretty bad concussion, and a few other injuries that will heal," Ree wrote. Meanwhile, despite breaking his neck in two places, Ladd, 52, managed to drive himself to the hospital after the ordeal.

"Evidently one of the two fractures was very close to being catastrophic," Drummond maintained, stating that Ladd had refused medical attention on the scene.

Ree said "other hardware" were used to stabilize the fracture at a Tulsa, Okla. hospital. She added that Ladd "will have to wear a neck brace for several weeks to let the other fracture heal, and the girls and I will bling out the brace for [daughter] Alex’s wedding…but we are just grateful he will be here for Alex’s wedding."
