So tragic. On Tuesday, February, 23, former O-Town singer Ashley Parker Angel revealed on Instagram that his parents, Ron and Paula Parker Angel, are in critical condition after being involved in a serious car accident caused by a drunk driver.
“Last night I got the worst phone call that anyone can get about a loved one,” Parker Angel, 34, wrote alongside a throwback photo of himself and his mother. “My parents were in a head on collision yesterday evening with a drunk driver.”
The ex-boy band member went on to explain that the crash was nearly fatal.
“My mom was driving and got the worst of it. She is in the ICU and will have to undergo multiple surgeries as she has broken nearly every bone in her body,” the dad of Lyric Lennon Angel, 9, explained. “It took the fire crews over an hour to cut her out of the car.”
Given their grave condition, Parker Angel is asking fans to pray for his parents during this difficult time.
“This is such a senseless tragedy, I can’t understand how anybody can get behind the wheel after drinking,” he concluded. “Please say a prayer for my Mom and Dad.”
