Minnie Driver Says She 'Crawled' From the Wreckage After Near-Fatal Car Accident
Minnie Driver apologized for using a filter in the video, joking that even her dog 'wouldn't look' at her.
Driver, who was accompanied by her friend Ben, explained the crash occurred on a country road in France when another vehicle failed to "stop at an intersection" and T-boned their car.
"We somehow walked out if it ... Well, we didn’t walk out of it, we crawled out of it, but we did get out of it alive,” she shared. "To be very clear, it was not our fault."
Minner Driver 'Cries All the Time' Following the Accident
Minnie Driver gave her followers a look at the vehicle involved in the accident.
"I'm fine, I got a sprained neck. I'm really in shock and sort of cry all the time, but I'm going to heal," she continued.
Driver said the only reason she was "not dead" was because of the design of the vehicle they were driving.
"We were in this, little tiny, Kia EV2. I've never been in a crash before, but the 360-degree airbags are what saved our lives," she said. "The fact that the whole car didn't crush us is down to the design of that car, which is frankly astonishing."
