JARED PADALECKI SPEAKS OUT AFTER HIS NEAR-FATAL CAR ACCIDENT
By DEVIN HERENDA
News that actor Jared Padalecki had been in a serious car accident first broke through a statement made by his former co-star, Jensen Ackles. Ackles, who starred with Padalecki in "Supernatural" for 15 years, told a New Jersey audience about the accident while appearing at a convention for the show in April.
"[Padalecki] was in a very bad car accident ... He's lucky to be alive," Ackles said, while also explaining that Padalecki was in the passenger's seat during the incident. He had thankfully been released from the hospital and was at home recovering.
On April 26, Padalecki posted a selfie of himself with his daughter, Odette, on Instagram, showing them posing and smiling together. "I'm definitely on the mend and hoping to return to filming later this week. I'm so lucky to have had the best care and be surrounded by people who love me," Padalecki wrote.
