Blake Lively devastated by the "horrific accident" which saw her father hospitalized

The 'Gossip Girl' star - who plays rich student Serena van der Woodsen in
the hit US TV show - rushed to be with her dad Ernie after his car crashed
into an embankment in Los Angeles, leaving the 61-year-old actor with severe
back and lung injuries.
Blake's mother Elaine said: "It was a horrific accident. He was on his way
to the set of his TV show 'Criminal Minds', and he swerved to miss a car,
and his car tumbled down an embankment.
"Ernie suffered back injuries, and also his lungs. But it is far less
serious than we thought. Blake is here, the whole family is here, and at
first it didn't look good. But thankfully, now we have been told he is going
to make a full recovery. It's all been taken care of."
She added: "We do not know when he will be out of hospital. We are just
happy he is going to be OK."
Blake flew to Los Angeles from New York as soon as she learned of the
accident.
The 21-year-old actress starred alongside Ernie in 2005 movie 'The
Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants' and the 2008 sequel 'The Sisterhood of
The Traveling Pants 2'.
