The woman who was driving Virginia Giuffre when her car and a bus crashed, leaving Giuffre with ‘days to live’, breaks her silence on the incident.
Last week, Giuffre shared a concerning post on social media, claiming that she only has 'four days to live'.
The 41-year-old - who reached an out-of-court settlement with Prince Andrew in 2022 after accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 17 - uploaded an photo of herself all bruised up in a hospital bed, claiming that she had been critically injured from a severe car accident.
The American-Australian campaigner said in her social media post: "This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can."

A spokesperson for Western Australia Police said they'd received a report of a 'minor crash' which took place 'between a bus and a car in Neergabby on 24 March just after 3pm'.
They also said: "The collision was reported by the bus driver the following day. The car sustained $2000 worth of damage.
"There were no reported injuries as a result of the crash."
Now, Cheryl Sassela, 71, was driving the Toyota Highlander in which Giuffre suggested was involved in 'collision' with a bus in Perth last week.
The caretaker, who reportedly looks after Giuffre's 40-acre weekend retreat, has since admitted that the crash has been 'blown out of proportion'.
She told Daily Mail Australia: 'I'm not covering for her. I'm not implicated in a cover up."
Sassela then added: "I'm sure Virginia will release a statement soon to clear it all up."
Previously, Giuffre's publicist said in a statement to LADbible: "Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.
"She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending."
This comes after the bus driver Ross Munns told the outlet that he had swapped details with the driver of the car following the crash.
He claimed the accident took place after the driver allegedly slowed down and turned into a property without indicating.
He said: "The driver basically pulled out in front of me. I made sure she was alright, and I went and did a police report. She was elderly and I asked if she was ok, and she said, 'Yes I'm ok'.
"I asked if she lived here and she said, 'No I'm a carer', and I told her she needs to put her indicator on when you have to turn.
"That's all the conversation was, and she asked how the kids were and I said, 'fine'. It wasn't a major crash."
