Minnie Driver is counting her blessings after surviving a serious car crash<\/a> in France.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the “Good Will Hunting” actress, 56, shared an emotional Instagram update with fans, revealing she is back home in London recovering from the frightening ordeal.<\/p>\n

“Hi, guys. Paris update is that I’m actually back in London,” Driver said in the video<\/a>, filmed while lying in bed wearing a neck brace. “I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend, Ben. And we somehow walked out of it. Well, we didn’t walk out of it; we crawled out of it. But we did get out of it alive.”<\/p>\n

Driver said that the crash was not their fault, explaining that another driver failed to stop<\/a> at an intersection on a country road in France.<\/p>\n

“To be very clear, it was not our fault,” she said. “We were driving on a country road in the middle of France, and a car didn’t stop at an intersection and was going at speed. And we just T-boned it.”<\/p>\n

The actress said she suffered a sprained neck and admitted she has been “sort of in shock and crying all the time.”<\/p>\n

“But I’m going to heal,” she added. “And the reason I’m not dead, honestly, is the car that we were driving.”<\/p>\n

Driver said she and her friend were traveling in a Kia EV2<\/a> and credited the vehicle’s safety features with saving their lives.<\/p>\n

“The 360 airbags are what saved our lives,” she said, noting she had never experienced a serious crash before.<\/p>\n

While insisting her message was “categorically not a car ad,” Driver said she felt compelled to praise the vehicle.<\/p>\n

“I want to celebrate that car,” she said. “You know, I’m Minnie Driver, pun intended. I need to celebrate the car that saved us, because we’ve got families and people who love us, and I am so grateful to be alive.”<\/p>\n

She ended the video by thanking the automaker directly.<\/p>\n

“So, Kia, you are a baller car company,” Driver said. “You’re amazing, and thanks very much from me and my mate Ben.”<\/p>\n

Friends and fellow celebrities quickly flooded the comments with messages of support.<\/p>\n

“Glad you’re ok. That’s so scary. Sending love ❤️ and strength xx,” Naomi Watts wrote.<\/p>\n

“So glad you are okay. Sending healing vibes,” Chelsea Handler<\/a> added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
