Craig Morgan’s son, Jerry, age 19, has gone missing after a tubing accident on Sunday at around 4 P.M. The accident occurred at Kentucky lake in Tennessee. Authorities have been searching through the night to try and find the missing boy. There have been no reports of success yet.
Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis reported that Jerry and another unidentified teen were tubing on the lake, when they both fell into the water. While the other boy was rescued, Jerry never surfaced, though he was wearing a life jacket.
