Ladd and Caleb were driving a Himmat fire truck, with Caleb driving south and Ladd heading north. Due to strong winds on a dirt road, visibility decreased, and the two trucks experienced a head-on collision.

He was in critical condition while Ladd was still responding. Caleb sustained internal injuries with head, arm and leg injuries, while Ladd sustained two fractures.
Fortunately, recorded in the St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, both responded well to the treatment. With no news of Caleb’s treatments announced, we know that Ladd underwent surgery to stabilize one of the fractures.
