Jamie Lynn Spears’ boyfriend has been removed from the intensive care unit of a Mississippi hospital, where he has been treated since a serious car crash on Sunday.

Casey Aldridge – the father of the former child star’s 10-month-old daughter Maddie –was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle after he crashed his 2008 Ford F-250 after his cousin’s bachelor party.

Casey, 19, and three of the passengers were thrown from the vehicle after Casey lost control. A fourth passenger — who was not ejected — was the only person in the truck who was wearing a seatbelt.

Casey was rushed to the University of Mississippi Medical Center with a fractured skull.

Despite early worries that Casey may have suffered brain damage, his uncle Odus Jackson has revealed that he is alert and doing well.

“There was just a little swelling, but he’s alert. They’re keeping him under precaution for a couple of days to make sure that no bleeding starts, but at the moment he’s resting well and doing well…”

“He’s been talking, and they were keeping him awake as much as possible. It looks like he’s probably over the danger. I think they are about to keep him under observation for about three days. Doctors are telling him that he should recover to full normalcy. It’ll just take time for it all to heal up – the brain.”
