JD Graham Seriously Injured After Horrific Car Accident

Songwriter JD Graham was involved in a horrible car accident on February 24th on the interstate in New Mexico. Graham's daughter has released a statement, discussing the severity of the accident and the stellar songwriter is lucky to be alive. "The crash was severe, and first responders had to cut [Graham] out of his vehicle".

Graham is currently in the ICU as his injuries include "a broken back, broken neck, and broken ribs" and tests are still being conducted to better understand all the injuries sustained. Graham's daughter detailed the events of the accident, and Graham was "hit by one semi and then slammed into another".

It was a car accident in 2017 that landed the songwriter incarcerated for five years. While in prison, Graham helped raise $20,000 for the music program he started and helped over 200 inmates use music to aid their personal rehabilitation process. This devastating news comes right before the release of his album, Uppers and Downers, on March 6th.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the Graham family and their medical expenses. This horrific crash comes soon after Graham's wife, Amy, was diagnosed with cancer. The country music community has already flooded the site with donations and support for the family.

Graham's daughter states that JD was practically run over by a semi as he was traveling to Oklahoma for shows he has coming up. She also detailed that the songwriter was traveling with his dad's dog, and the dog was killed in the accident. Graham was transported to a hospital and then lifeflighted to a trauma center in Amarillo.

Support and prayers continue to pour in for the Graham family during this difficult time.
