The Terrifying Car Crash That Changed Young Sheldon Star Raegan Revord's Life

Raegan Revord opened up about the scary car accident that she endured prior to filming an episode of "Young Sheldon" back in January. In an Instagram post on March 30, Revord said she and her mother were heading to work when their car was struck on the side. "Tonight's episode was incredibly challenging for me to film, personally. On the way to work my mom and I were t-boned by a driver driving under the influence," she explained. "The irony here is I'm pretty much in a car for this entire episode, but you know what they say, 'You gotta get back on the saddle.'"

Revord said she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and had "full-blown" panic attacks for weeks after the terrifying crash. Speaking with ET about the accident, Revord remembered fearing she had broken her foot and had lost her hearing after their car was hit. "I didn't have hearing for, like, five minutes," she said. "That was the scariest thing about it." She also recalled breaking down and begging for her father to pick her up on the set once they were done filming. "I was sobbing," said Revord. "I didn't want to [go home]." She explained that her father had a gigantic truck that she felt was "indestructible" and was much safer to travel in. "I was like, 'Please, you have to come pick me up. I cannot go home,'" said Revord.
