Dax Shepard opened up about a terrifying experience from his high school days that went horribly wrong when he nearly died in a car accident.
The 51-year-old armchair expert co-host recalled the painful moment as he drove from Toledo to Detroit in the Ford Probe.
He said he was with his friend and decided to sleep in the back while his buddy drove at 85 mph on cruise control.
But apparently the driver fell asleep during the trip, causing the car to lose its balance and eventually overturn.
Shepard recalled that the car “rolled 10 times” down the highway, dramatically missing the pine tree along the road.
The Hit And Run however, the actor remembered the terrible experience as a strange mixture of fear and calm.
He said, “I definitely had this moment where I was like, ‘Oh wow, I’m going to die in a second,'” he said, adding that a strange sense of peace took over as the car spun.
Miraculously, they both crawled out through the windows without major damage or injury.
He said he questioned whether he was dying or not for the next three days and called the experience “very memorable.”
Shepard and his wife Kristen Bell, who recently met with online controversy over a social media post, are parents to 13-year-old Lincoln and 11-year-old Delta.
