Matt Kenseth spotter Chris Osborne and several of his family members are recovering after a serious car crash last weekend.
Osborne took to social media on Twitter to give thanks for all the support he and family members have received, while son Austin posted a photo of the family car and details about the crash on Instagram.
Can't believe we're even alive, but definitely can't figure out how I'm already out of the hospital and walking around just fine.. We were coming home from Charlotte and were about 5 minutes from home when a drunk driver came flying around a curve and drove straight in to our lane. Dad was driving and almost got his leg completely taken off, but after hours of surgery the doctors were able to piece it back together. I was in the passenger seat and escaped with just a broken nose, missing tooth, a concussion, and some liver damage but I will be fine. Mom was in the backseat behind me. She broke the back of my seat and flew over me and ended up between the dash and windshield, suffering a broken pelvis on 2 places, destroyed her elbow, a broken hip, and a broken shoulder along with some other severe damages. She has been taken off her ventilator and was able to get out of ICU, so she is recovering. Huge thank you to everyone for all the texts and calls. I understand that not everyone that drinks drives under the influence, but this is why I always have and always will be so against drinking. Nothing good ever comes out of it, and now a innocent family will be suffering for months to come..
