Carrie Underwood is a hometown hero to the assistant police chief of Checotah, Oklahoma, who was injured in a rollover crash.
Carrie made a $10,000 donation under her married name of Carrie Fisher to a GoFundMe account set up for the officer, Justin Durett. Officer Durett was found pinned under his truck after it ran off the road and rolled over. He suffered a broken neck and has no feeling from his neck down.
She is a native of Checotah, and a local TV reporter confirmed the donation via twitter.
