Jelly Roll is fortunately okay after being in an ATV accident. The 41-year-old reveals that he broke his collarbone, after crashing his ATV, although now both he and his ATV are back in business.
In a video posted on social media, Jelly Roll reveals his repaired ATV, sharing details of what happened.
“I broke my collarbone,” he says, showing what his ATV looked like after the crash. “I was so scared to get back on it. I just knew that if I didn’t get back on this thing sooner or later, I was just going to be more and more afraid of it. I’ll tell y’all what, though, my brother got it fixed, dude. He killed it. It’s brand-new. I figured I had totaled it, but whoever did this for us, thank y’all.”
Although Jelly Roll doesn’t say when the accident occurred, he does reveal he was hurting when he won three Grammy Awards in February.
“Just think, I was running around at the Grammys with a broken collarbone,” Jelly Roll says. “Every time I hugged somebody that week, I wanted to scream. I just didn’t say anything. But every time somebody squeezed me, I thought I was going to cry. Sometimes the machine can do more than the user thinks it can. This was all user error. But anyways, moral of the story, get back on that pony, baby.”

Jelly Roll Wins Three Grammy Awards
Jelly Roll just won his first three Grammy Awards, for Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song with Brandon Lake for “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Shaboozey for “Amen.”
“First of all, Jesus, I hear you, and I’m listening. Lord, I am listening. Lord,” Jelly Roll said after winning Best Contemporary Country Album. “Second of all, I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.”
After thanking his record label and country radio, the Nashville native reflected on how far he had come in his life, after spending years behind bars.
“There was a time in my life that I was broken. That’s why I wrote this album. I didn’t think I had a chance. There were days that I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human. There was a moment in my life that all I had was a Bible this big,” he says, holding up a small Bible, “and a radio the same size, in a six-by-eight-foot cell. And I believed that those two things could change my life. I believed that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life.
“And I want to tell you all right now, Jesus is for everybody,” he continues. “Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus, and everybody can have a relationship with Him. I love you, Lord.”
