Over the weekend, Jensen Ackles revealed that his former Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki was recovering following his involvement in “a very bad car accident.” The internet was awash with messages of support and well-wishes after it was revealed that the Walker star had been in the passenger seat of a car that was involved in a horrific crash that has left the 39-year-old nursing injuries at home. Ackles was appearing at a Supernatural fan convention at the weekend and revealed the details when Padalecki did not appear with him at the event.
Speaking to the crowd without his former co-star, Ackles said:

Padalecki himself had pre-warned fans that he would not be able to attend the event via tweet on Thursday, but he did not give any details on exactly why he would not be in attendance. His tweet simply read, “Hey #SpnFamily! Sorry to miss y’all in NYC [sic] this weekend. Thank you and the #WalkerFamily for all the love and support. Can’t wait to see y’all again.”
Ackles revealed that while the accident was serious, there had been no fatalities and he was just mindblown that Padalecki was not in hospital and was able to be home recovering. All in all, it seems that, as Ackles said, he has been very lucky and we join his fans in wishing him a speedy recovery.
