In a series of breaking news tweets, it has been revealed that several of the most popular country music radio hosts in the country were involved in what appears to be a serious car accident while traveling back home to Nashville from Mississippi.
The three radio hosts, and one of them being also a country star, were first reported as being involved in a car accident by several fellow radio personalities and producers that worked closely with them. It was also reported that their executive producer was riding with them when the accident occurred.
The hosts of the Ty, Kelly & Chuck Morning Show, Ty Bentli, Kelly Ford, and Chuck Wicks were apparently involved in a crash that had possibly overturned vehicles, and it was stated by his fellow colleague that Wicks had been hospitalized.
Jayde Donovan, who works for a fellow radio station tweeted that she was “shook up” when she got the news of the accident, stating that she was still waiting on more information and that Chuck Wicks had been hospitalized.

The three hosts have become a staple in the country music community and are known throughout the industry as some of the most fun people to be around. They have become regular stars on social media and often upload videos of their hilarious antics and games with country stars that go viral.
Chuck Wicks has ventured out on his own career as a country musician and has grown a significant following though his incredible performances.
It was confirmed just a few minutes after the initial report of Wicks being hospitalized and an unknown status for the others, that all three are expected to recover from their injuries and one half of duo Brooks & Dunn, Kix Brooks tweeted more details – including some humor.
