DJ Afrojack has said he’s lucky to be alive after narrowly escaping a metal blade that smashed through his car’s windscreen and likened the moment to Final Destination
DJ Afrojack has shared that he almost died when a metal blade smashed through his car’s windscreen and only narrowly missed his face. The 38-year-old DJ posted a clip to social media, where he likened the moment to something from the film Final Destination.
In the video posted to Instagram, he showed his cracked windscreen with the metal blade still stuck in it. The position of the blade showed that it had crashed through the windscreen over the central console, and will have landed very close to both the driver and any front seat passengers. DJ Afrojack, whose real name is Nick Leonardus van de Wall, wrote over the video: “POV: Final Destination but it’s not a movie.”
Final Destination is a film franchise that follows a group of people who escape death only to be killed off in a series of unlikely incidents orchestrated by Death itself.
He also said in the caption that he felt “lucky” to have survived it: “We got lucky, will post full update later.” The caption was accompanied by a series of distressed face emojis.
Fans quickly shared their support for Afrojack. One wrote: “Brother… so glad you’re safe.” Another said: “Glad you are ok bro. God’s protection is with you.” A third added: “OMG so glad you’re ok fam. That’s scary AF.”
The DJ later shared another series of videos and pictures of the car with the blade in the window, which was being driven by his friend Nick Fuso. He said in the caption: “Sometime life sends me a reminder of how lucky I am to be here..
“Blessed with my family, blessed with my friends, and blessed with breathing. This was the scariest thing i’ve ever seen and my friend @nickfuso too, for @fritsvandeclips the second scariest thing.
“Thanks for the warning, thanks for this life, lets go get more life n more music!! Thanks @nickfuso for not crashing the car after your final destination moment, and tnx to my team (and @officialhardrock ) for still getting us to the finish line!!”
He finished by sending a “big thanks” to his wife, Elettra Lamborghini, “for always being there for me even in the scariest moments”. DJ Afrojack married the Geordie Shore star in 2020 in a Lake Como wedding.
Their wedding was a spectacle where their family and friends watched them exchange their vows. Elettra has her roots in the spotlight as the granddaughter of car founder Ferruccio Lamborghini and she had her own taste of fame on Geordie Shore in 2017. The two were engaged for 10 months before getting married.
Finally, Afrojack posted a picture from his spot on a plane and poked fun at the incident, which happened on the way to the airport. He said: “Team no car made it to Monterrey.”
