Casey Aldridge, boyfriend of former “Zoey 101” star Jamie Lynn Spears, is in stable condition after a serious car accident over the weekend. Aldridge, the 19-year-old father of Jamie Lynn’s baby daughter Maddie, was driving home at 1:30 a.m. when he wrecked his truck, cracking his skull in the process. He was also charged with the misdemeanor of careless operation of a vehicle.

We’ve learned Casey Aldridge was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle (a misdemeanor) after this morning’s crash — and no other car was involved.

Cops tell TMZ Casey was driving on the LA 606, which is in the Tensas Parish in Louisiana, when he lost control of his F-250 at around 1:30 AM. Law enforcement sources say Casey was initially taken to the Riverland Medical Facility in Ferriday, LA — which is right across the border from Mississippi.

19-year-old Casey is currently at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS.

UPDATE: Cops tell us there were three other passengers in the truck with Casey — but Casey’s injuries were the most serious.

People is reporting that Jamie Lynn is at the hospital with Casey, but the hospital is not giving any more information on his injuries.

Casey Aldridge, the father of Jamie Lynn Spears’s 10-month-old daughter Maddie, was injured in a car accident early Sunday morning. Police have charged him with careless operation of a vehicle, which is a misdemeanor.

Spears, 18, and Aldridge’s sister are at Casey’s side where he is hospitalized at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, according to sources. Staff at the hospital would not confirm Aldridge is undergoing treatment there.

A family source tells PEOPLE Aldridge has “a cracked skull” and has been ” in and out” of consciousness. However, the source says: “It’s not as serious as we thought at first.”

Aldridge, 19, was driving a 2008 Ford F-250 pickup when the wreck occurred at 1:30 a.m. Sunday near Lake Bruin in Tensas Parish, La., Master Trooper Billy Ziegler of Louisiana State Police tells PEOPLE. The accident happened in a stretch of road described as an entry and exit for Lake Bruin, a recreational lake that is a popular spot to fish.

After the accident, Aldridge was taken by ambulance to Riverland Medical Center in Vidalia, La., police say. There is no indication that he was tested for drug or alcohol usage.

A source tells PEOPLE that Aldridge was attending a bachelor party for his cousin, when he and some friends decided to go crabbing. He was driving his truck with several passengers when it went off the shoulder of the road and flipped over, adds the source.

As for Spears, another source tells PEOPLE: “This must be just horrible for Jamie Lynn. I know she loves him.”

A speedy recovery to Casey – but it sounds like even if his injuries aren’t as serious as first thought, his troubles are not quite over. It does sound like there was no alcohol involved at first report – he was charged with careless operation and not DUI. Thank goodness no one was critically injured.
