Donnie Wahlberg nearly crashed last week.

Donnie Wahlberg was almost seriously injured last week after losing control of his car on a highway. Donnie was driving from San Diego to Los Angeles on Wednesday night following a concert.

Donnie was so exhausted after the event, he fell asleep at the wheel and came within inches of smashing his vehicle into the median.

He says, “I nearly crashed my car after the gig. I was driving from San Diego to L.A. and I’d been on the road for three hours. I was so tired that my eyes kept closing. Then I fell asleep and it was raining.”

Donnie Wahlberg says he is lucky to have escaped uninjured, but the experience has left him extremely shaken.

He adds, “I was like, ‘Whoa!’ And I’ve been quiet ever since. I’m so tired.”
