Kris Allen is starting 2013 with a bang! Well, two bangs to be exact.

The singer was involved in a head-on car collision on New Year’s Day but don’t you worry–he is still pretty excited over the fact that he and his wife Kathy are expecting their first baby!

The “American Idol” season eight champ shared both news over Twitter: “Yes I got in a really bad wreck tonight and yes I’m having a lil baby. #gonnabeadaddy”

Allen also wrote, “Thank you @ford for equipping me with a car that kept my whole family @katyallen @ZorroPup [his dog] and the little one we have on the way safe.”

Kris’ mom also took to Twitter to share this photo of Kris in an arm cast with the caption, “From Kris: he’s in a lot of pain, arm broke, may not play guitar for a while. Prayers welcome please! #headoncollision.”
