Ex-NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has revealed he and his family were in the 'worst car accident of our lives' on Friday after sharing terrifying photos from the scene.
While confirming that they are all safe and well, Griffin opened up on the 'scary' crash that occurred as he drove with his wife Grete and their children in Fort Worth, Texas.
'Just got in the worst car accident of our lives with my wife and kids in Fort Worth, Texas,' he wrote. 'Scary crash, ricocheted off the highway divider multiple times, blown both front tires. Thankful to God that my wife and kids are safe.'
Griffin, who played for the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, appeared to be in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with his family when the collision happened.
The other vehicle was left in a significantly worse state, with the front bumper and hood completely destroyed in the crash. However, Grete confirmed on Instagram that 'everyone in that car is alive and well'.
'Got everyone checked out in the ambulance and kiddos are all well and healthy,' she added in a separate post. 'I hit my head so will get a CT scan and Robert's back is also getting checked out'.

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) October 3, 2025Griffin has been married to Estonian heptathlete Grete for seven years after they met back in 2016. They share three daughters in Gia, 2, Gameya, 5, and Gloria, 8.
The former football star is also a dad to 10-year-old daughter Reese Ann, whom he shares with ex-wife Rebecca Liddicoat.
Earlier this year both Robert and Grete involved in an astonishing feud with ex-NFL defensive back Ryan Clark, who issued an apology to his old teammate after making an insulting comment about their interracial marriage.
Clark first took issue with Griffin's comments about WNBA star Angel Reese amid her rivalry with Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark - saying that he doesn't know the struggles of black women because he is married to a white woman.
He then claimed his former colleague 'is not having conversations at his home about what black women have to endure in this country' because his wife is Caucasian.
Days later, Clark apologized to the Griffin family for his words and said that he made a mistake involving Grete.
Before the apology, she appeared to take aim at Clark after posting a video on Tiktok of RGIII pretending to hold her back as she attempted to attack someone.
While she did not name him, Grete referenced the feud by writing as the caption: 'When someone has something to say to my non-confrontational husband'.

It was posted to the family TikTok account, @_thegriffinfamily, and entitled 'Say it with yo chest!!!' alongside a laughing emoji.
When he brought his nine-year NFL career to an end, Griffin joined ESPN in 2021 after the network fought off interest from Fox Sports, who were impressed by his audition and desperately wanted to sign him.
He spent three years working on ESPN's 'Monday Night Countdown' show but was replaced by Jason Kelce in the 2024 offseason, a move which left Grete furious.
'Onto bigger and better things,' she posted on social media after his exit last year.
Griffin, who won the Heisman Trophy back in 2011 while playing college football for Baylor, also worked on ESPN's college football broadcasts alongside announcer Bob Wischusen.
