Terry Luttrell of REO Speedway is on the mend after surviving a terrifying car crash over the weekend.

The rocker, 78, wrecked his vehicle after he fell asleep at the wheel on Interstate 57 in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois on Sunday morning, according to the News-Gazette.

The airbag deployed during the crash, causing Luttrell to sustain a cracked sternum. 

Luttrell described the horror incident in a phone call with the outlet from his hospital bed, admitting he ‘rolled the car over’ and awoke surrounded by the airbags.  

‘I was able to get up and get out of the car,’ he told the outlet on Tuesday morning. ‘The airbag went off and cracked my sternum a little bit.

‘I have a little back pain and neck pain. It’s nothing that can’t be overcome,’ he added.
