Bret Baier And Family Involved In A Serious Car Accident

Bret Baier has been skiing with his family in Montana. On their way back to the airport, they were involved in a seriously scary car accident. Stephen Colbert made the announcement last night. Baier was supposed to be a guest on his show Tuesday but had to cancel for obvious reasons.

“We just found out that [Baier] and his family were in a car accident in Montana,” Colbert said. “Bad, like, jaws of life to get him out of there. They’re all in the hospital but they’re going to be OK. And we just want to say: we hope you’re doing better.”

I’m glad to hear that they’re all going to be OK.

We are grateful our friend ⁦@BretBaier⁩ and his family are ok. Sending prayers and all our love. ❤️ https://t.co/mKHI9cgma2

Don’t take anything for granted – every day is a blessing – and family is everything. It’s always good to remind yourself of that – before something does it for you. #countyourblessings

Here’s Baier’s full statement:

“After a weekend of skiing with my wife and two boys in Montana, driving to the airport Monday morning on icy roads, we were involved in a major car crash. Thanks to a man driving by named Zach who stopped and helped, we were able to climb out of the flipped car. And thanks to the first responders and Montana Highway Patrol – we made it to the hospital quickly. We are very grateful to all of those who helped us out. My advice to everyone is to always wear your seatbelt and to count your blessings everyday. I tweeted this out as we left the hospital banged up, but alive. — ‘Don’t take anything for granted – every day is a blessing and family is everything. It’s always good to remind yourself of that before something does it for you.’”

Wishing a speedy recovery to him and his family!
