Oscar-nominated actress Minnie Driver is recovering after a severe car accident in France, expressing gratitude for her survival. The 56-year-old actress shared the incident via an Instagram video, revealing she suffered a sprained neck but is otherwise fine. She and her friend, known only as Ben, were involved in a collision with another vehicle that failed to stop at an intersection.
Driver mentioned they both crawled out of the wreckage, emphasizing that the crash was not their fault.
