Peta Murgatroyd Involved in Car Accident in California

Longtime “Dancing With the Stars” pro Peta Murgatroyd was involved in a multi-car accident on Monday, September 9.

Her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, shared the news on his Instagram Stories, along with videos from the scene of the crash. It’s unknown if Chmerkovskiy was in the car at the time of the accident.

“I’m already crying,” Murgatroyd said, covering her mouth and leaning into her husband. Chmerkovskiy filmed their family car, which appeared to be hit from behind, causing it to hit the car in front of it.

“This is our car,” he said. “This is somebody’s car that smashed into our car,” he continued, filming a car behind the couple’s SUV. He then filmed another car that was across the street near the sidewalk. “This is somebody’s car that smashed into this car that smashed into our car, that smashed into the front,” he said.

“So, Peta’s okay. Everybody’s fine,” he added. He then asked if his wife was okay. She responded that she has “some sort of whiplash.” It does not appear as though any of the three Chmerkovskiy kids were involved.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Went to Get Peta Murgatroyd a Rental Car

After the accident, Chmerkovskiy went to get a rental car. He joked that he was going to get Murgatroyd a minivan to drive.

“So, I’m over here picking up a rental, cuz baby girl is in the shop and she’s going to be there for a while, seems like. But, I was thinking, to surprise the mrs. with one of these bad boys,” he said, filming a white minivan behind him. “Minivan. I mean, spacious, roomy car. The doors? They go sideways like Rolls Royce life or something like that, you know what I mean? We can make it a thing,” he continued.

Chmerkovskiy then filmed the inside of the rental car. “It’s roomy. Spacious. What do you guys think? To minivan or not to minivan?” he asked. He also put a poll on the photo with two options to answer the question, “Are we doing it?” The first possible response was “absolutely.” The second option read, “Why you gotta do this to her?”

At the time of this writing, 60% of people responded, “Absolutely!”
