Fox News Special Report anchor Bret Baier and his family were in a severe car accident while vacationing in Montana over the weekend.
“After a weekend of skiing with my wife and two boys in Montana, driving to the airport Monday morning on icy roads, we were involved in a major car crash. Thanks to a man driving by named Zach who stopped and helped, we were able to climb out of the flipped car. And thanks to the first responders and Montana Highway Patrol – we made it to the hospital quickly. We are very grateful to all of those who helped us out," Baier released in a statement Tuesday morning. "My advice to everyone is to always wear your seatbelt and to count your blessings everyday. I tweeted this out as we left the hospital banged up, but alive. — ‘Don’t take anything for granted – every day is a blessing and family is everything. It’s always good to remind yourself of that before something does it for you.’”

The news of the crash was first announced by Late Show host Stephen Colbert Monday night. Baier was scheduled to be on his show tonight.
“We just found out that he and his family were in a car accident in Montana. Bad, like, jaws of life to get him out of there. They’re all in the hospital but they’re going to be okay. And we just want to say: we hope you’re doing better,” Colbert said.
We wish Bret and his family a healthy and speedy recovery.
somewhere someone on this site said he was one of the gay ones....I stand corrected....he is normal.....yeah!
I’m looking for a new car with trunk missiles as an option.
Agreed.
Last, but not least. for a year or so, I am on 2 RX blood thinners and aspirin.
If a tailgater hits me, I could die from a brain bleed or maybe worse.
“why do so many people on this site have their panties in a wad?”

Good old US 191. I used to drive it regularly. Montana is not famous for keeping the snow off their roads cleared. If there was a recent snow on US 191, I’d move over to I-15, a bit longer over Monida Pass but way safer.
“If you saw that person in Warren County, IL, that was probably a member of the Thompson clan. I have friends that used to tell me about competing against them at the demos many years ago.”
Wow! Who do you know around here? I assume this is the Thompson family that trucks gravel and dirt and runs heavy equipment? One of the older gentlemen was in the nursing home I worked at. Good folks.
Hysterical. Comment of the week!
He actually works in DC.
Thanks. Some people don't appreciate a sick sense of humor. Glad you do.
In that case, he should need a passport to get into the US.
Those death scene markers on 191 were crazy! I was shocked at the number of deaths marked on that mountain road!
Take the road south for an interesting study in cultural clash. Lots of beer sold in Island Park . . . the longest narrowest town in America and some of the best fishing too. Ashton is where the Lutheran culture meets the Mormon culture with a mix of ranch, farm and vacationland. Bars and drinking establishments start thinning out. Once you reach the Mormon town of Rexburg (home of BYU Idaho), the only place to buy a brewski with your meal is the Applebee restaurant just south of the city limits.
US 191 is one of the most interesting highways in America.
You should try driving the speed limit in New Jersey.. Drivers here are exceptionally rude and hostile.
“You should try driving the speed limit in New Jersey.. Drivers here are exceptionally rude and hostile.”
They were rude and hostile in the late 1960’s and early 70’s.
“I’m looking for a new car with trunk missiles as an option.”
Or at least a controllable rear mounted laser to take out their cooling system and motor.
Agreed.. AND the late 70’s.
I remember it well.
