Dwayne Johnson’s mother, Ata Johnson, recently met with a car accident. The Black Adam star shared a picture of a red vehicle that was damaged entirely in the front. The Rock took to his Instagram and wrote:
“Thank you God. She’s ok. Angels of mercy watched over my mom as she was in a car crash late last night. She’ll survive and continue to get evaluated. This woman has survived lung cancer, tough marriage, head on collision with a drunk driver, and attempted suicide.”
Johnson added:
“Thank you LAPD & LAFD for being so caring & focused. Thanks for staying on phone and talking me thru it all. I got one parent left, so if you still got your mom and dad make sure you hug ‘em hard, cos you never know when you’ll get that 3am call we never want to get.”
The comments section of the post was flooded with best wishes from the actor’s friends and fans. Detailed information about the incident has not yet been revealed and it has been confirmed that it is not the same car that Johnson gifted his mother in 2021.
The Hobbs & Shaw star often posts about his mother on Instagram, and he even shared a heartfelt message for her on her 72nd birthday.
