On Wednesday morning, his family first shared the news about his crash on his Facebook page and on a\u00a0fundraising page, saying the Oklahoma native was in a \u201cserious accident\u201d on Tuesday on an interstate after he was hit by a semitruck and slammed into another vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still waiting on several tests to understand the full extent of his injuries, but we do know this is going to be a long and difficult recovery,\u201d his daughter wrote. \u201cHe has a broken neck, a broken back, and several broken ribs, and he will be unable to walk for some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham had to be cut out of his SUV by paramedics and was airlifted to a trauma center in\u00a0Texas\u00a0where he is still being treated.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cWatching someone so strong go through something like this has been incredibly hard for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s wife is unable to work during her\u00a0cancer recovery, his daughter continued, with the family statement adding that Graham \u201chas worked his tail off as a musician to carry them through her journey and chase his dreams at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

His daughter added, \u201cWhen he is finally able to return home, he will have a long road ahead with extensive physical and mental rehabilitation. It\u2019s going to take time, patience, and a lot of strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cIf you know my dad, you know the kind of person he is. He is the best grandpa, dad, husband, and friend anyone could ask for, and the support being shown to him right now means everything to our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Midnight Slip, a speakeasy in\u00a0Missouri\u00a0where Graham had been scheduled to play on March 7, wrote on their Facebook page that the show would go on as scheduled without him and the proceeds would be donated to his family and recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs some of you may already know, our friend, J.D. Graham Music was in a very bad car accident yesterday. He has a broken back, neck and other serious injuries. Please pray for him and his family,\u201d the venue wrote, adding, \u201cHe is scheduled to play at Midnight Slip on March 7th with King Margo and Tiffany Ann. We are still going to have our show, and all proceeds (after the musicians are paid) for the ticket sales will go to JD and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n
