Country music singer Carrie Underwood donated $10,000 to the help the assistant police chief of her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma, after he was severely injured in a road accident on Feb. 11.
Durret was driving his 2006 Ford pickup down Oklahoma route 71 near West Liberty Road when the truck ran off the road and flipped. According to the GoFundMe page, Durrett was thrown from the truck, which then landed on top of him.
When a Haskell County deputy arrived at the scene 45 minutes later she found Durrett pinned under the truck.
“Not to mention the cost of the medical bills and what he may have to do after whether rehab what not. Any donations are greatly appreciated ... Whether it’s money or prayers.”
