The Life Goes On singer recently revealed on Instagram that he had wrecked his Mercedes-Benz into a ditch after falling asleep behind the wheel. The 49-year-old was fortunate not to have been injured. The incident taught him an “important lesson” about driving while drowsy.

I fell asleep while driving yesterday and ended up in a ditch,” he wrote in his caption. “I walk away with no injuries but I learned a valuable lesson, That if you’re tired just park the car cause this could’ve been bad.

I know that I am truly protected but I needed this experience…. Thank you God for wrapping your arms around me as you have always done… My love and loyalty is to you.
