Nollywood actress Destiny Amaka has revealed that she narrowly escaped death in a ghastly car accident, just five days after burying her father.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Destiny said the crash occurred while she was on her way to church.

She disclosed that three people were in the vehicle, but she was the only one injured, sustaining a busted lip and a fracture in her tibia/fibula.

“Yesterday morning, just five days after my Daddy’s death, while on my way to church, I was involved in a brutal car accident. There were three of us in the car, yet I was the only one physically injured,” she wrote.

Despite battling grief and physical pain, the actress said she chose to see the accident not as a curse but as a reminder to slow down and reflect.

“My body has been telling me to pause, receive, breathe. I didn’t listen. This accident made the voice louder. A gentle push, not a curse,” she noted.

Amaka had recently laid her father to rest on September 26. In a heartfelt tribute, she admitted their relationship wasn’t perfect but cherished their final conversations, which reaffirmed his love for her.
