Actress Minnie Driver Says She Was in 'a Really Bad Car Accident' in France

Driver says she and friend Ben escaped alive after a car failed to stop at an intersection and T-boned their vehicle, leaving her with a sprained neck.

  • On Thursday, August 6, actress Minnie Driver announced she and friend Ben Homewood survived a "really bad car accident" earlier this week in France while wearing a neck brace.
  • The collision occurred on a country road when another vehicle failed to stop at an intersection, forcing them to T-bone it; Driver emphasized, "To be very clear, it was not our fault."
  • Driver credited the Kia EV2's "360 degree airbags" with saving their lives, noting the vehicle's design prevented it from crushing them, which she described as "frankly astonishing."
  • Recuperating in London, the 56-year-old actress expressed deep gratitude, saying, "I need to celebrate the car that saved us because we've got families and people who love us."
  • Driver acknowledged that replaying the crash in her mind is difficult but necessary for processing the trauma, joking she was not attempting to create a car advertisement as she continues healing.
