On December 12, 2005, she was involved in a serious car accident resulting in severe fractures across her skull, below the brain, and behind the eyes.

On the 13th, she had surgery to relieve the pressure to her brain, and it was found that her face was bruised as a result of numerous facial fractures, her right eye socket was broken, and a neck break was later diagnosed as a simple fracture. She eventually recovered, being released on December 23, 2005 from a trauma center in Denver, Colorado to recover at home. This accident affected the filming of the science fiction movie The Villikon Chronicles: Genesis of Evil.
