“On December 12, Derek and I got into a pretty scary car accident,” Hayley composed on InstagramDec 23. “Our accident involved a steep hill, icy roads, a tree, and worst of all, the fear that we would slide off the mountain. Given the circumstances, we have so much to be grateful for.”
For Hayley, she’s happy there were no other individuals included with the mishap. In addition, paramedics fasted to react and assist the couple out.
“We are both okay,” she stated. “I only walked away a little banged up, a swollen face, and four stitches above my eyebrow. Now, more than ever, we realize how fragile life is and how important it is to love those around you. We hope that everyone has a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season.”
