Some of you may recall that AEW star Daniel Garcia was involved in a major car accident back in 2019 in Montreal that resulted in both of his legs being broken.
During a recent appearance on the “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Garcia commented on the accident and provided some additional details on how it happened.
You check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how the car accident happened: “We just hit some black ice, the car spun out and we crashed right into like, the end of the guard rail. So the guard rail basically splits the car in half … I broke my femur in my right leg and my [fibula] and tibia in my left shin and ankle.”
On waking up mid-accident: “So I was sleeping in the back and I remember I woke up and we were spinning… After the crash, it was almost like, peaceful. You couldn’t hear anything, there was no traffic. There was like dew on the ground ’cause I was able to get to the ground somehow and I remember just laying there, and I looked up at the front of the car and I see the people in the front … Kevin Bennett, he goes, ‘Daniel, are you okay?’ And I went, ‘Yeah, I’m good. I think I broke both my legs though.”
Chris Jericho, Tony Khan, and the late Jon “Brodie Lee” Huber all wound up donating to his GoFundMe campaign.
