Fox News anchor Baier's car flips during Montana vacation, family hospitalized
Fox News anchor Bret Baier and his family were in a car accident while vacationing in Montana on Monday, which CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert described as serious.
We just found out that he and his family were in a car accident in Montana, Colbert said, referring to Baier, who was scheduled to be a guest on CBS's "The Late Show." "Bad, like, jaws of life to get him out of there."
"Theyre all in the hospital but theyre going to be OK," he continued. "And we just want to say: We hope youre doing better.
Baier, 48, who has a wife and two sons, released a statement on Monday night:
After a weekend of skiing with my wife and two boys in Montana, driving to the airport Monday morning on icy roads, we were involved in a major car crash," Baier said in a statement. "Thanks to a man driving by named Zach who stopped and helped, we were able to climb out of the flipped car. And thanks to the first responders and Montana Highway Patrol we made it to the hospital quickly. We are very grateful to all of those who helped us out.
"My advice to everyone is to always wear your seatbelt and to count your blessings everyday. I tweeted this out as we left the hospital banged up, but alive," he continued. "Dont take anything for granted every day is a blessing and family is everything. Its always good to remind yourself of that before something does it for you."
