"We thought we were dead," Cohen said while stepping out at HBO’s The Penguin premiere on Tuesday, September 17. "My wife’s arm is all messed up. I have a broken sternum, which is supposed to be never-healing. It’s like called a nonunion break, and it’s never going to heal."

Following the accident, Cohen took to Instagram to detail what happened. "With broken bones, bruised bodies, lots of drugs, and the impact of a random act of aggression that hit us we venture on. I’m very p----- my existence right now is about healing but at the same time truly grateful," he penned alongside a video of footage of the crash and him in the hospital.
"@afunnybunnypicture [Traina] and I are both here to experience the love and incredible generosity of friends and family. We know when we know in life. The fragility of us all and how life can change in an instant. Lessons we don’t want to learn but often are forced to. Here to tell the story I guess," he concluded the update.
