PIONEER Woman chef Ree Drummond’s nephew has been involved in a collision with the star's husband Ladd while battling a fire on the family's Drummond Ranch in Oklahoma.

Caleb Drummond is in hospital after his emergency vehicle crashed with another fire truck "ejecting" him 70 feet.

Who is Caleb Drummond?

Caleb Drummond is the nephew of Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond and was involved in a nearly fatal accident on her and her husband's property in March 2021.

Caleb and his uncle, Ladd Drummond, were battling a fire on the family's Oklahoma ranch on March 10, 2021, at 1.45pm.

Caleb and Ree's husband, Ladd, were each driving a Himmat Fire Truck when they collided head-on due to decreased visibility and "high winds on a gravel road," according to a report of the crash.

Neither Caleb nor Ladd was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and Caleb "was ejected approximately 70 feet from point of rest."

Caleb was immediately brought to the St. John Medical Center in critical condition with head, arm, leg, and internal injuries.

Ladd "refused treatment at the scene," the report says, and instead drove himself to the hospital where he was diagnosed as having a broken neck.

Was Ladd Drummond injured in the accident?

Ree described her husband as "doing great" a year after the nearly fatal collision that placed both Ladd and Caleb in the hospital.

Shortly after Ladd was admitted to the hospital, Ree revealed on social media that her husband had broken his neck in two places, and wrote: "Evidently one of the two fractures was very close to being catastrophic."

In a 2022 blog post reflecting on Ladd's injury, Ree said: "The surgeon had told us that the fracture in his neck came dangerously close to damaging his spinal cord, and the fact that he was lucky to be able to get up and walk around after surgery was not lost on Ladd."

A year later, she said his neck is stiff but he is back to doing all the things he loves including riding his horses, feeding the cattle, and working on their ranch.

Only two months after the accident, Ladd was able to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding and was even able to temporarily remove his neck brace for the moment.

"Fortunately, I've been married to this dude for 25 years and I asked Jesus to take the wheel many years ago," Ree wrote in her blog.

She added: "So I was able to throw my hands up and surrender when these envelopes were pushed."

When was Caleb Drummond arrested?

Caleb was arrested less than a month after the accident for driving while intoxicated.

He was taken to the Osage County Jail in Oklahoma on April 18, 2021, and was charged with driving under the influence, carrying a firearm while being arrested for a DUI, and for transportation of an open container. However, he was released later that day.

According to police documents obtained by TMZ, police said they received a call at about 5am that a Ford truck had been stopped at a traffic light for at least three light cycles without moving.

When police approached the truck, they noted Caleb was asleep behind the wheel and didn't respond when they repeatedly knocked on the window.

Police said when they finally got the door open, they found an open beer, a box of ammo, a loaded 9mm handgun, and amazingly, the car was still in drive, but Caleb's foot had remained on the brake.

They said he lost his balance when stepping out of the vehicle and handed them a credit card when they asked for his license.

According to the reports, Caleb failed a field sobriety test and told police: "I know I shouldn’t have been driving,” and “I’m glad I wasn’t caught a few hours ago."
