Brandon Casey is giving thanks to those who looked after him in his hour of need.
Casey, one-fourth of the R&B group Jagged Edge, revealed on Instagram Tuesday that he was injured in a recent car crash. The singer shared a photo of his hospital form and gave a warm shoutout to the staff of Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital.
"I have to send a big thank (you) to @grady.hospital after bein(g) in ICU for five days," Casey wrote. "I kno(w) the legendary Grady Trauma Center is everything. It's said to be the best in the country. Y'all saved my life and I’m forever grateful..
"I'm so thankful to all (you) ladies who took care of me, who have nursed me, fed me, encouraged me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, the most sincere thank (you) I can conjure up."
While Casey didn't offer many details on the incident that led to his hospitalization, the "Where the Party At" singer said he sustained a broken neck, five broken ribs, a skull fracture, scalp lacerations and "a bunch of pain all over my body."
"But (I'm going to) be good. I promise y'all," Casey concluded. "God got me. It’s like something (trying to) take me off this planet, and God keep tellin(g) (th)em, ‘Nope, not him. Not yet’ … All praises to the most high, most awesome, most wonderful God. Thank (you) lord!!!! From (yo)ur loyal soldier."

In the photo, the driver's side of Casey's vehicle is visibly totaled.

"But (I’m going to) jus(t) post this, jus(t) so (you) kno(w) neither wreck was a fender bender."
