According to the GoFundMe page started for Durrett, he endured a broken neck, a bruised spine, injured vertebrae, loss of feeling in his legs and an infection in the lungs due to his Feb. 11 accident.
The incident occurred on his way to work. "...He slid off the road, rolled his truck he was ejected from his truck. Then the truck landed on him. It's by the grace of God this man is alive, not only alive but responsive. He had been underneath the truck for at least 45 minutes," his GoFundMe explains.
Underwood's donation on Durrett's campaign popped up on Feb. 17 after she heard the news. The hefty $10,000 donation accredited to Carrie Fisher (Underwood's married name) raised some eyebrows, leading people to wonder if it really was THE Carrie Underwood.
