"This whole experience has been very scary for me," the reality TV personality, 19, told E! News hosts Jason Kennedy and Catt Sadler in a Skype interview with her famous dad, Todd Chrisley. "It"s put a lot of things into perspective, and it"s made me realize things I need more focus on."

The accident happened on Monday, January 16, when Savannah looked down for a brief second to fix her floor mat, which had gotten stuck behind the gas pedal. As a result, she lost control of her vehicle and hit a guardrail during a rainstorm.
