Casey Aldridge's Car Accident


Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’s 10-month-old daughter Maddie, was hospitalized in Jackson, Mississippi after a car crash early Sunday morning. We're hearing he was coming back from a fishing trip BUT ALSO more specifically, that he was coming back from going crabbing after a bachelor party.

Reports say he may not have been completely sober after deciding to leave the bachelor party to go catch some crabs. The truck he was driving crashed and flipped on a Louisiana highway, ejecting Aldridge and two of his four passengers.

Perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to say he was drunk driving. Aldridge, 19, was charged with a misdemeanor count of careless operation of a motor vehicle. Police reportedly had to wait more than four hours after the crash to speak to him, due to his hospitalization, but a trooper told E! that they had no reason to suspect that alcohol was a factor in the accident.

An unidentified family member said he suffered mild brain trauma and a "skull fracture around his hairline" that will require several days of hospitalization in the intensive-care unit at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, where he has been transferred.
