(CBS News) Usher is reportedly very torn up over his stepson's recent accident.

Kile Glover, the son of Usher's ex-wife, Tameka Foster, was hit by a Jet Ski Friday while floating in an inner tube being pulled by a pontoon boat on Georgia's Lake Lanier, according to CBS Atlanta affiliate WGCL-TV.

The 11-year-old boy remains in critical condition at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. He has had no brain activity since being admitted, according to TMZ.

Usher, who split from Foster in 2009, is said to be very upset. "He grew close to Kyle and, of course, that has nothing to do with the situation with Tameka," a source told Us Weekly. "He loved Kyle. This is a terrible, awful tragedy. Usher is torn up."

Usher chartered a plane for Foster to fly immediately to the hospital, reports TMZ. Foster told Radar Online, "He's bad."

Glover was with a 15-year-old friend when the collision happened. The second victim suffered a broken arm and cut on the head, reports WGCL-TV.

Officers said that a family friend, 38-year-old Jeffrey Hubbard, was driving the Jet Ski that ran over Usher's stepson and his friend. Police said charges are pending for Hubbard, but noted that no alcohol was involved. So far, no charges have been filed.

Curtis Frampton, the owner of the Lake Lanier business that rented the personal watercraft, told WSB-TV he feels really bad about the collision. "I take it very personal," he said. "Anytime that an accident like this happens, or any accident happens, I feel bad for the families."

Kyle is Foster's son from her previous marriage to Ryan Glover.

Usher has two children with Foster: Usher V, 4, and Naviyd, 3.

Who is Usher?

[55minus5]

What a confusing BS. Sorry anyway.

[smittyc]

My ignorance is showing, never heard of usher. When I read the headline I thought they were talking about an usher at a church. Same with glover.

[lewmal]

why was the mother not present with the 11yr, dont send your kids to any water activity unless you are close by

[formerlyluvnut]

Well uh, gee, duh, what dad wouldn't be?

[Lerianis6]

I'd be 'very upset' as well and looking for blood from the Jet Ski rider who didn't see this boy. Black skin, bright innertube.... no reason to have hit him.

[yusomad]

WTH does Black skin have to do with someone being able to see you in a bright innertube???? Think about what you just wrote....but o'well guess everyone can't hide their prejudices!

[ReckonedTruth]

if the article as noted is accurate...basically his step-son is all but dead- as result of life support.. I've never heard of anyone coming back from being brain dead..

The article reads, "Usher, who split from Glover in 2009, is said to be very upset", and should read "Usher, who split from Foster in 2009, is said to be very upset."
