AceShowbiz - "Days of Our Lives" actor Freddie Smith and his girlfriend Alyssa Tabit got into a car accident. They were injured and taken to hospital. According to the police report obtained by the Associated Press, "speed and alcohol are suspected to be factors in the crash."
The accident happened in the early hours of Tuesday, October 7 in Kingsville Township, Ohio. According to authorities, Smith lost control of his car after failing to safely negotiate a left curve. The car hit a culvert after crossing the centerline and travelling off the left side of the road.
Smith suffered minor injuries, but his girlfriend Alyssa was seriously hurt. She was trapped inside the vehicle after it flipped over. He was taken to Conneaut Medical Center, and she was flown by helicopter to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Youngstown for surgery.
Smith's "Days of Our Lives" co-star Molly Burnett wrote on her Facebook, "Just got off the phone with Freddie. He and Alyssa are OKAY." She added, "They were in a serious car accident last night, but were able to receive medical help IMMEDIATELY."
"Freddie was released from the hospital, and Alyssa will be in surgery for a few more hours. She was cognitive pre-surgery, and all of her tests were perfect. Both Freddie and Alyssa's families are heading there now, and they are in the best hands," she continued. "Send over as many prayers and well wishes as you can."
She gave update later, "Alyssa is out of surgery, and it went really well. Keep sending that positive energy."
