DWAYNE ‘The Rock’ Johnson revealed on Instagram his mother and cousin were involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver.

Johnson’s mother Ata Naivia-Johnson and cousin Savelina ‘Lina’ Fanene, a WWE Diva, were on their way to the USO’s Foundation Banquet when they were hit earlier this week.

“My mom & cousin @linafanene were struck head on by a drunk driver this week — they lived,” the 42-year-old actor wrote in the August 10 post.

“First reaction is to find the person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them. But then you realise 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.”

The photo showed two totalled cars with an ambulance nearby.

According to TMZ, Ata and Savelina were most likely in the white 2012 Cadillac Escalade the Hercules star gave to his mother as a gift.
