Frankie Muniz, the 40-year-old actor known for his role as Peter Shirely in Malcolm in the Middle, was involved in a crash while practicing for the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic at Daytona International Speedway. The incident occurred during a practice session on the infield road course section of the circuit, where Muniz crashed his Ford Mustang into a tire barrier.
Safety crews quickly responded, cutting away the roof of the vehicle to extract the awake and alert actor from the wreckage. Despite the frightening nature of the crash, Muniz has since been released from the hospital just hours later, expressing disappointment at not being able to participate in the Ford’s Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic event.
He praised the safety of his Mustang, which he believes protected him during the incident, and thanked Ford Racing, Daytona International Speedway, and the hospital staff for their support. Muniz's on-screen father, Bryan Cranston, was present at the race and confirmed that his son was fine after the accident.
