Cajun singer & musician Johnny Sonnier seriously injured when a vehicle fell on him

Cajun music singer and musician Johnny Sonnier, age 74, has been seriously injured after a vehicle that he was working on fell off a ramp and on top of him. According to his wife, Sonnier was trapped underneath between the tire and running board. Sonnier’s wife says he has suffered broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken cheekbone, and has now contracted pneumonia. She also noted that he has lost mobility of his right arm and shoulder, but hopefully that will only be temporary. He remains hospitalized. A native of Opelousas, Johnny Sonnier began playing drums at age 9, and he then went on to learn several other instruments, including the diatonic accordion. Sonnier is best known for his hit “Chere Alice”, as well as “The Devil went down to New Iberia”, which was a remake of the Charlie Daniels Band hit “The Devil went down to Georgia”. The Sonnier family is asking for donations to help with medical expenses and they’ve set up a Go Fund Me page. The link is: https://gofund.me/82dcd4b2
