The 50-year-old actor and former WWF icon shared a photo to his Instagram account Thursday, displaying a badly wrecked red car. He said that his mother, Ata Johnson, 74, had been in the vehicle.

“Angels of mercy watched over my mom as she was in a car crash late last night,” Johnson wrote in the caption. “She’ll survive and continue to get evaluated.”

He added a few words of praise for his mother’s resilience: “This woman has survived lung cancer, tough marriage, head on collision with a drunk driver and attempted suicide. She’s a survivor, in ways that make angels and miracles real.”

He concluded: “I got one parent left, so if you still got your mom and dad make sure you hug ’em hard, cos you never know when you’ll get that 3am call we never want to get.”
