Fan favorite General Hospital alum Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda Barrett) and her family were involved in a serious car crash over the weekend.

It's been a rough couple of days for General Hospital alum Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda Barrett), who experienced a scary car accident while she, her fianc, and their three children were in the car.

The actress took to Twitter on Friday with the horrifying details. "Major accident, huge truck just rear-ended our truck while our truck was parked," she wrote. "All of the kids in the car. Mc can't move neck or back. #ER"

Thankfully both Marcil and the children were physically unscathed. Her fianc, on the other hand, was unable to speak in addition to being unable to move after the accident, which had the actress quite worried. "I'm staying furious so that I don't crumble," she revealed, followed by the good news that his condition has since improved. "Thank you for ur prayers. Mc is speaking now but groggy. Your messages R making him smile while in the hospital."
