    Movie and reality TV star Brigitte Nielsen is recovering after surviving a three-car accident in Los Angeles, TMZ reports.

    The former model was a passenger in a 2006 Porsche Cayenne when a woman driving a Toyota Matrix smashed into them from behind about 10:20 p.m. Wednesday. The Porsche, in turn, hit the car in front of it. The operator of the Matrix was arrested for DUI after reportedly blowing far above the legal blood-alcohol limit of .08.

    The Worst of 2011

    Paramedics transported Nielsen to a nearby hospital where she received X-rays and was treated for injuries to her neck and back. She was released and allowed to go home and is "sore and resting," her rep says.

    Nielsen, 48, has struggled with her own alcohol abuse and has appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. According to a 2010 interview, Celeb Rehab producer John Irwin said, "She's sober, and she quit smoking. She's doing crazy good."

      She is FAR FAR from being a "movie star". She prays to be on the D-list.

      You guys are not going to believe this, but the photo above is after she got a face lift and other surgical enhancements in order to look younger. You should have seen what she looked like before the surgeries.

      A teeny tiny Matrix actually knocked a Porsche into something? That driver must've really been speeding.

        LOL that's the first thing I thought too!! A Matrix can barely crush a soda can, so you know that driver flew into them!
