As Driver shared her story, she claimed that she and a friend, Ben, were driving along a French country road. Things took a turn when their car was impacted by another vehicle travelling at speed and failed to stop at an intersection.

The Actress Thanked Many People For Their Help, Especially A Certain Van Driver
Discussing her injuries, Driver claimed that she endured a sprained neck. She also shared that she was left “in shock” and was “crying all the time.” However, she assured that she was still “fine.”
The actress also credited the car she and her friend were travelling in, which was an electric Kia EV2, for saving their lives. She shared, “The reason why I’m not dead is the car that we were driving. I’ve never been a crash before, but the 360-degree airbags are what saved our lives.”
The star also thanked a van driver who stopped and her and Ben before emergency responders came onto the scene. She shared, “I am so grateful to be alive. Thanks very much from me and my mate. And my family and the people who love me. Shout out to the van driver who stopped and helped us before the ambulances arrived. Special mention to the car who slowed down took in the scene and drove off without stopping.”
“I guess this is the Dao of the world, the light and the dark. My brain keeps replaying the crash, which is very hard but seems to be a necessary part of processing. Weeping, too, feels good and helpful. Thank you to my friends, my family, all the people at work and especially my friend Ben and his family. I love you.”
