It's been a scary week for reality star Savannah Chrisley.
The Chrisley Knows Best star was involved in a serious car accident on Monday, resulting in broken vertebrae and severe pain. The 19-year-old shared news of the accident and her injuries in a lengthy Instagram post yesterday.
Chrisley's photos show the extent of the damage to both her body and her vehicle.
"The past couple of days have been some of the toughest days for me," she wrote. "And I truly think that God has made them so difficult because I began straying away from him and his word. I got in a car accident early Monday morning because my floor mat had gotten stuck behind my pedals so I looked down for a brief second to try and get it out of the way and then I realized that I was headed straight towards the guardrails.
"I tried to over-correct but it didn't help. As soon as I hit the guardrail my airbags came out and because of the airbags and seatbelt the injuries weren't near as bad [sic] as they could have been. But what I do remember is going in and out of consciousness screaming for help and cars just continued to pass. It felt like I had been laying there for at least 20 minutes begging for help. And then a man stopped and ran over to me and got the police my way...so thank you to the amazing man that stopped and helped me as everyone else was passing. I have no idea who you are but thank you...I could never repay you for your act of kindness."
Some people, she shared, have had a less sympathetic reaction to her accident.
"Also...to all of you hurtful people that are saying that I deserved it and got what was coming for me...you need Jesus and I'll help by praying for you," she posted." And to all of those who are being supportive...I thank you very much. It means the world. The next month or so I will be recovering from a broken vertebrae which has caused numbness in my hands and fingers and pain all throughout my neck, back, and shoulders.
"While recovering physically I'm going to take time to recover spiritually and mentally as well," she continued. "I want to be the best version of myself possible and that will happen. We all make mistakes...all that matters is how we learn and grow from them. I truly believe that God has used this situation to open my eyes to what is truly important in life and to put my focus back on him in order to live the right life and be unbelievably happy. So right now I just want to say thank you again...love you all."
Chrisley's father Todd has not yet commented on his daughter's accident, but has retweeted her statement as well as messages from various well-wishers.
