Receiving an unexpected call about a loved one involved in a serious accident is one of the things most of us dread. The flood of panic, the multitude of questions, and the overwhelming hope that our friend or relative will be okay consume us in those moments. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently experienced this firsthand when he received such a call about his mother, Ata Johnson, who was involved in a serious car accident.
According to Johnson’s Instagram post, the accident occurred on Thursday morning at around 3am. Ata Johnson, 74, was driving a red Cadillac Escalade that collided with another vehicle. The damage to the front-passenger side of her car was significant. Thankfully, Johnson’s mother survived the accident. He expressed his gratitude to God, stating, “she’s ok” and acknowledging that “angels of mercy watched over my mom.”
Ata Johnson is a survivor in every sense of the word. She has battled lung cancer, endured a tough marriage, survived a head-on collision with a drunk driver, and even faced attempted suicide. Johnson praised his mother’s resilience and strength, emphasizing that she is a living example of angels and miracles.
While Johnson did not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding the crash, he mentioned that his mother would continue to receive evaluations. In his Instagram post, he also took the opportunity to commend the first responders who helped his mother and kept him informed during the ordeal. Johnson expressed his gratitude to the LAPD and LAFD, acknowledging their care and focus throughout the situation.
As he concluded his post, the Black Adam star urged his millions of followers to cherish their parents and show them love. Reflecting on his own situation, he wrote, “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.”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has consistently admired and celebrated his mother’s strength and resilience. On her 72nd birthday in October 2020, he called her a “survivor” and praised her for living each day as a true blessing. Johnson’s father, Rocky Johnson, a professional wrestler, passed away at the age of 75 in 2020.
This accident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life. It highlights the importance of showing love, compassion, and forgiveness whenever possible. In the face of such terrifying and unexpected events, it is crucial to appreciate our loved ones and treasure the time we have with them. Let’s send our thoughts and prayers to Dwayne Johnson and his mother as they navigate through this challenging time.
