Sheridan Smith has reportedly been involved in a terrifying car crash, with her Range Rover hitting a tree during bad weather caused by Storm Arwen.
The Gavin & Stacey star was driving on a country road near her home in Essex when the accident happened on Saturday, reported The Sun.
Photos from the scene show parts of the vehicle tangled up in the trees along the side of the road.
A neighbour told the publication that Sheridan suffered minor injuries and was “lucky to be alive”.
“It could have been so much worse,” they continued. “Her car was stuck in the tree, it was a really bad crash.”

The neighbour said it was an “incredibly tight bend” anyway, and that conditions would have been worse during the storm.
They continued: “It could have been so much worse, she had cuts and bruises, but it could have been fatal, she was incredibly lucky. It was a brand new Range Rover, she hasn’t had it long. It’s almost a miracle she’ not hurt herself more.”

It is understood that Sheridan managed to get home after the accident and that the police were then contacted.
The pictures from the scene appear to show that the luxury car suffered significant damage in the smash.
Fragments of the Range Rover can be seen, including a light and what looks like a large segment of the roof.
