Kellie Pickler is asking for a little help from fans in the wake of a car crash that left her drummer seriously injured.

Gregg Lohman was airlifted to the hospital on Saturday following an accident that involved four vehicles on Interstate 65 in Kentucky.

"Yesterday, my drummer Gregg Lohman was in a horrific car accident and is currently in ICU," Pickler wrote on both her Facebook and Twitter accounts. "Gregg is not just my drummer, he is family. I believe in miracles and the power of prayer, so it would mean the world to me, my band, and Gregg's family if you would please keep him in your prayers. Thank y'all so much."

Lohman had slowed down due to another crash, which killed six people, on the interstate, CNN reports. Another driver apparently did not notice the slowing traffic and crashed into Lohman's truck. As a result, Lohman's vehicle also hit a car, which subsequently rear-ended another.

Aside from Lohman, two others were injured, but they were treated and released.
