Dwayne Johnson, better known as The Rock, had quite a scare last week, when his mother, Ata Maivia-Johnson, and cousin, Lina Fanene, were hit by a drunk driver on Aug. 2.
Johnson shared the news with an Instagram post on Saturday, writing, “My mom & cousin @linafanene were struck head on by a drunk driver this week – they lived. First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them. But then you realize the most important thing is my family lived thru this and we can hug each other that much tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them.”
Johnson accompanied the heartfelt message by a photo from the car crash, in which both cars involved appear completely wrecked. The wrestler and actor also shared the photo on Twitter to remind his followers that the accident was “100% preventable.”
Luckily, Ata and Fanene were not seriously injured and are recuperating at home. The woman driving the car that hit them was also hospitalized with injuries and has been charged with DUI.
Fanene, a WWE Diva, also updated fans on the accident via Instagram, posting a photo of herself smiling with her arm in a sling on Aug. 5. “Still all smiles! Very grateful to be alive and for the love from all of my family and friends," she wrote.
A few days later, Fanene addressed the accident more openly, writing, “Not sure why the very intoxicated woman decided to drive her car, head first, into our car…but I do know that we are extremely lucky to be alive and that everything we have is fixable. It’s a bump in the road, but we will get past it and be stronger than before."
Finally, she posted a collage of photos of her and Ata recovering with family, including a photo of Johnson visiting her in the hospital.
