Pat Benatar took to social media urging people not to drive under the influence. Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo‘s younger daughter, actress Hana Giraldo, narrowly escaped death at the hands of a drunk driver on Monday night (July 26th), with the couple posting photo of their daughter’s totaled car on Facebook.
Benatar wrote: “This is our youngest daughter’s car. She was in a terrible accident in the early hours on Monday morning. It’s a miracle she is alive. She suffered only minor injuries and is at home recovering. This accident was caused by a drunk driver, who left the scene. So please, always buckle up, maintain your vehicle (those airbags saved her life) And DON’T DRIVE DRUNK OR HIGH, drive responsibly. Someone’s life depends on it.”
