Driver shared the news on her Instagram that the accident happened a \u201cfew days ago.\u201d Her post showed a video of the actress lying in bed on her side with a neck brace back at her home in London.<\/p>\n
The \u201cEmily in Paris\u201d star explained she and her friend, named Ben, were not at fault in the accident, which happened on a \u201ccountry road\u201d when another driver failed to stop at an intersection, resulting in Driver and her friend T-boning them.<\/p>\n
Driver said she has a \u201csprained neck\u201d and is \u201cin shock\u201d and crying all the time. She credits the car they were driving for saving their lives, a Kia EV2. \u201cI\u2019ve never been a crash before, but the 360 degree airbags are what saved our lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so grateful to be alive. Thanks very much from me and my mate. And my family and the people who love me,\u201d the \u201cGood Will Hunting\u201d star said.<\/p>\n
Driver elaborated more on the crash in her caption for the video, writing, \u201cShout out to the van driver who stopped and helped us before the ambulances arrived.

She continued, \u201cMy brain keeps replaying the crash which is very hard but seems to be a necessary part of processing. Weeping too, feels good and helpful. Thank you to my friends, my family, all the people at work and especially my friend Ben and his family. I love you.<\/p>\n
