UPDATE x 2: We now have some more details on
the head-on collision that Ata Johnson and Lina Fanene were in. The woman who
was at fault was in fact drunk, had a suspended driver’s license and was trying
to escape from police. She ran through an intersection, crossed the median at
high speed and collided with the car.
Neither Ata or Lina had time to react and luckily were in a sturdy
car. Lina suffered a broken collarbone and Ata had bruising in the lungs and
chest from slamming into the steering wheel. She also has a cast on her left
hand. Luckily, both are said to be recovering well.
On behalf of everyone here on the website, we send our best wishes
to the two for a speedy recovery.
UPDATE: As reported yesterday, The Rock tweeted
a picture of him visiting his cousin, WWE NXT Diva Lina Fanene, in the hospital
after she had undergone surgery for an arm injury. Now “The Great One” has given
an update on where that injury came about, and it was in a scary situation–she
and Ata Johnson, The Rock’s mother, were in a head-on collision with a drunk
driver.
The Rock posted the following to Instagram:
My mom & cousin @linafanene were struck head on by a
drunk driver this week – they lived. First reaction is to find the person who
did this and do unrelenting harm to them. But then you realize the most
important thing is my family lived thru this and we can hug each other that much
tighter these days. Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can
tell them you love them. #BearHugsAndGratitude #100PercentPreventable
#ChoicesMatter.

the hospital. Fanene recently had to undergo surgery for an arm injury.
