Ex-NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has revealed he and his family suffered the 'worst car accident of our lives' on Friday after sharing photos of the wreckage.
While confirming that they are all safe and well, Griffin opened up on the 'scary' crash that occurred as he drove with his wife Grete and their children in Fort Worth, Texas.
'Just got in the worst car accident of our lives with my wife and kids in Fort Worth, Texas,' he wrote. 'Scary crash, ricocheted off the highway divider multiple times, blown both front tires. Thankful to God that my wife and kids are safe.'
Griffin, who played for the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, appeared to be in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with his family when the collision happened.
The other vehicle was left in a significantly worse state, with the front bumper and hood completely destroyed in the crash. The identity and condition of the other driver is currently unclear.
