The teenage girl with Glover sustained a broken arm and a laceration to her head and was also hospitalized.
Sgt. Mike Burgamy of the Department of Natural Resources reported that a boat was pulling Glover and his friend on an inner tube when they were struck by a jet ski operated by a 38-year-old man. The man was reportedly part of the same group on an outing on the lake.
Burgamy said no charges have been filed though it's too early to tell. He also said that alcohol did not play a role in the accident.
Both Usher and Tameka visited Glover at the hospital. Usher chartered a plane for Tameka to fly in from out of town to be with her son. Tameka has reportedly not left the hospital since she arrived there.
