Todd Chrisley is counting his blessings after his 19-year-old daughter, Savannah Chrisley, survived a serious car crash on Monday.
Savannah Chrisley was driving a four-door sedan during a rainstorm Monday when she reached down to adjust her floor mat, E! News reported. The mat became stuck behind a gas pedal, and the car veered toward a guardrail.
The Atlanta-based beauty queen suffered from a fractured vertebrae in her neck and several bruises and burns from the airbags.
In a statement to E! News, Chrisley said he experienced “the worst feeling in the world” when he received a late-night phone call requesting that he come to the hospital immediately.
“We have a six-week recovery period and we are all so thankful to the good Lord above for His grace and mercy,” Chrisley said.
Savannah Chrisley often appears on her father’s USA network reality show, “Chrisley Knows Best,” which revolves around his eccentric Southern family.

Tuesday night, the 19-year-old broke her silence on social media for the first time after the accident, saying that while the past couple of days have been her “toughest,” she believes that God made them “difficult” because she began to stray away from “Him and His word.”
Savannah said after the crash, she was going “in and out of consciousness,” while cars passed by for what felt like 20 minutes, until a man stopped to help and called police.
“I truly believe that God has used this situation to open my eyes to what is truly important in life and to put my focus back on Him in order to live the right life and be unbelievably happy,” Savannah Chrisley wrote.

Savannah Chrisley seems to be looking at her time in a hospital as an opportunity for growth. While she recovers physically in the coming weeks, she said she is “going to take time to recover spiritually and mentally as well.”
“I want to be the best version of myself possible and that will happen,” she said.
