Minnie Driver's Paris adventures went awry this week when she was involved in a car accident that she's describing as a frightening close call. On Thursday, the actor — who has posted a series of "Paris Update" videos for her fans over the last two months while filming the sixth season of "Emily in Paris" — updated fans with a video posted to Instagram in which she appeared in a neck brace and recounted a harrowing close call. "Paris update is that I am actually back in London," the video began. "I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend Ben, and we somehow walked out of it," she said. "Well, we didn't walk out of it. We crawled out of it, but we did get out of it alive."
