Trace Adkins knows something about auto accidents and what they can do. In Adkins' youth he was in an accident involving a vehicle where both legs, one arm, and some ribs were broken. But that wasn't all. Part of his nose was ripped off.

Trace Adkins, 48, began his career with his first single There's a Girl in Texas. From there he went to Dreamin' Out Loud. Other hits contributing to Adkins' success include Every Light in the House, (This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing, and Adkins' album Big Time, to name a few.

As fans of Adkins and his band hope that all nine will be up to playing the gig tonight, Trace Adkins proves once again that pulling it together can be done, even on the most difficult and unpredictable times.

The five victims transported to Vivian hospital had minor injuries. Justin R. Maxey and the passenger of the Ford truck, Jeffrey R. Ferguson Jr., 36, were both pronounced dead at the scene.
