Comedian, Singer and Songwriter Mark Lowry was injured in a motorcycle accident in Houston on Saturday, March 4th.

The accident occurred when Lowry’s motorcycle collided with a vehicle that had stopped in front of him. His knee sustained the greatest impact in the accident and he underwent surgery Sunday to help repair the kneecap. His injuries are not life-threatening, and is expected to be released from hospital shortly.

Bob Sauer from Mark Lowry Productions issued the following statement on www.marklowry.com, “I talked with Mark this morning. He’s surrounded by good funny friends and he’s in fairly good spirits. He had surgery on the leg yesterday (Sunday) and he may be in for more. He’ll be resting comfortably in the hospital for about five more days. There is quite a bit yet to be determined on how the leg will be handled, so we’ll get the word out when we know more… We have had to call off the March concerts but he will have one wild story to tell at April’s Senior Trip here in Nashville. Please understand, we appreciate the offer for cards and gifts but hold onto them and send prayers instead – lots of prayers for a speedy recovery. E-mails will be forwarded as usual.”
