‘Real Housewives of Orange County’: Kelly Dodd’s Husband Rick Leventhal Is ‘Lucky To Be Alive’ Following Brutal Car Crash
On Tuesday, 10th January 2023, Dodd, aged 47, posted a picture and a video of her husband, Rick Leventhal’s smashed up car which was located in the middle of the freeway.
Dodd then informed that her spouse, Leventhal, aged 62, had been brought to the emergency department after getting broken ribs. Though the car is destroyed, it is anticipated that Leventhal will be alright.
Dodd relayed to TMZ that the crash occured when Leventhal was on his way to Palm Desert, CA. The video shows that it happened on a highway that was wet from the recent rainfall. The collision happened to Dodd’s Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which was significantly damaged in the front.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Dodd posted some footage of the damage that had been done to the car. The post was captioned by the following comments: “There will be no smash tomorrow on @youtube the rick and kelly show.
“My husband got in a horrible car accident . He is in the ER.. please say prayers for @rickleventhal.” Much in the same way, now that the dust has settled somewhat, Rick has had his own say on the matter. In a short clip filmed from the hospital room, Leventhal went into further detail about his frightening experience.
We can see that Rick has an oxygen mask on his face, as it is clear that he is in some major discomfort. He can then be heard saying the following comments: “So lucky to be alive & grateful for the well wishes & care I’m getting. 4 broken ribs, fractured bone right foot, wounded pride.
“So far that’s it. I hydroplaned heading east on 410, about 40 minutes outside of Palm Desert, just straight away hit what felt like a patch of ice. It was just water or whatever.”
