The Godfather shared a photo of the wrecked car on Instagram, captioning it: “I definitely believe in the safety of a Dodge Ram. Rolled three times and both of us walked away without a scratch.”
He later revealed more in a video he posted on his social media.
Hey guys I just wanted to let everybody know that I’m ok. I came out of this without a scratch. It’s just really bad weather here in West Virginia, we started hydroplaning.
I wasn’t driving, but we started hydroplaning and went into a three truck roll but it’s gonna take more than that to take me out but thank you everybody for the concern. But I just wanted to let everybody know that I’m ok and I’m still smoking. [H/T: WrestleTalk]
