According to a report in the Ocala Star-Banner, Coe was apparently at fault. He was cited by Northern Florida police for running a red light. Neither speeding nor alcohol, however, are suspected. Coe told an officer at the hospital that he didn't remember anything just before the crash.

Coe's official website reports that the 73-year-old performer is "recuperating from his accident and will be OK," with Coe's agent confirming the cancellation of his concerts in St. Louis and Louisville, Kentucky.
