Update: Casey Aldridge appears to be okay
according to the latest reports. However, he will be kept under
observations by doctors for the next three days. More information will
be available in the near future.
 Casey Aldridge, the father of
actress Jamie Lynn Spears' baby, and two of his four passengers were
thrown from his 2008 Ford F-250 pickup when it rolled over in
Louisiana, state police said Monday. No one in the truck was wearing a
seat belt.
Trooper Mark Dennis said Aldridge, 19,
suffered moderate injuries. He was taken to Riverrun Medical Center in
nearby Vidalia, then moved to an undisclosed hospital, Dennis
said.
The wreck happened about 1:30 a.m. Sunday on a
highway 60 miles southeast of Monroe, near the Mississippi state line.
Dennis said the passengers, men aged 19 to 23, refused treatment for
minor injuries.
"The fact that three of these guys
survived ejection totally defies the odds," he
said.
Investigators did not find cause to suspect
drugs or alcohol, but cited Aldridge for careless driving, Dennis said.
No one was cited for not wearing a seat
belt.
Aldridge, a pipe-layer from Liberty, Miss., is
the father of Maddie Briann Spears, born last June. Spears, 18, is the
star of the Nickelodeon TV series "Zoey 101" and the sister of singer
Britney Spears.
The crash happened in Tensas Parish
down Louisiana Highway 606 near a country club on the inside shore of
Lake Bruin, a clear oxbow lake popular for boating, fishing and
swimming.
Dennis said the truck went off the right
side of the highway and into a ditch, overcorrected, ran off the left
side of the highway and flipped at least once.
