Dwayne Johnson has expressed his gratitude after his mum survived a terrifying car crash, stressing that she’s ‘a survivor, in ways that make angels and miracles real’.
In a post shared on Instagram, The Rock uploaded a photo of the busted up car, showing the red vehicle with its front right side smashed in.
The former professional wrestler thanked the Los Angeles emergency services for being ‘so caring and focused’, as they stayed with him on the phone throughout the ordeal.
‘Thank you God 🙏🏾 she’s ok. Angels of mercy watched over my mom as she was in a car crash late last night,’ he wrote in the caption.
‘She’ll survive and continue to get evaluated. This woman has survived lung cancer, tough marriage, head on collision with a drunk driver and attempted suicide. She’s a survivor, in ways that make angels and miracles real.’
The 50-year-old continued: ‘Thank you LAPD & LAFD for being so caring & focused. Thanks for staying on phone and talking me thru it all.
‘I got one parent left, so if you still got your mom and dad make sure you hug ‘em hard, cos you never know when you’ll get that 3am call we never want to get.’
Johnson’s dad – WWE legend Rocky ‘Soul Man’ Johnson, born Wayde Douglas Bowles – died in 2021 at the age of 75.
He and the Black Adam star’s mum, Ata Johnson, divorced in 2003.
Following Johnson’s Instagram post, he received a rush of support from friends and fans wishing his mum well.

‘Glad mamas ok!!’ said Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, while professional bodybuilder added: ‘Brother, I am so sorry your mom endured this but very thankful to God she’s okay. I can only imagine the stress you felt in that moment. Sending love and prayer🙏🏽.’
Last summer, Johnson surprised his mum with her ‘dream’ home.
Having bought her several houses over the years, this particular home was special, because she had said she wanted her next house to be the last that she would settle in.

‘I surprised my mom and bought her a new home.’
‘If you still got your mom and dad make sure you hug ‘em hard,’ The Rock wrote.
