Dalton Gray, the actor who starred as Master Mike on "American Horror Story: Freak Show", narrowly escaped death and was nearly blinded after a car he was riding in the passenger seat was plowed by a drunk driver on Saturday night, April 18. The drunk driver was arrested and sent to jail.

Dalton's rep told TMZ that the 17-year-old actor shattered his pelvis and his femur. He also suffered horrific cuts to his face and some serious eye trauma. According to the site, "the damage was so bad, doctors had to reconstruct the right side of his face and remove glass from his eye but we're told his vision will recover."

Dalton's mother Lynnette shared on Facebook a lengthy message to thank his fans and friends for their prayer as the doctor said his son "needed a miracle." She also posted some photos of Dalton at the hospital, which showed him lying on the hospital bed, walking with the help of crutches and going home with a wheelchair.

Dalton thanked his fans and friends for their support via Twitter. "All I can say is.. Thank you all so much for the support. Yall are helping me get threw this. Words can not express the love I'm feeling," he tweeted on April 20, "I haven't looked at my face yet but I feel like chucky." The next day, he was discharged from hospital. "On my way home. Thank you all for everything."
