Robert Griffin III and his family were involved in a serious car crash on Friday.
Griffin revealed in a social media post that he was driving with his wife and children on the freeway in Fort Worth, Texas, when they got into “the worst car accident of our lives.” It appears that Griffin and his family were traveling in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van when the driver collided with another vehicle.
“Just got in the worst car accident of our lives with my wife and kids in Fort Worth, Texas. Scary crash, ricocheted off the highway divider multiple times, blown both front tires. Thankful to God that my wife and kids are safe,” Griffin wrote on X.
Griffin shared some photos that showed significant damage to the van and a Ford Mustang that looked completely totaled.
