Guy Fieri detailed a terrifying experience that became a wake-up call for him when he was 19 years old on Tuesday’s (July 25th) episode of the Now What? with Brooke Shields podcast. The Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host said he was falsely accused of drunk driving in a fatal car crash.
“I was in a fatality car accident when I was 19, when I was in college. I wasn't driving. I was in the backseat and unfortunately, I was with a bunch of guys and we were drinking,” he recalled. Fieri was a student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, at the time.
“We were screwing off and we actually were down at the drag boat races in Las Vegas,” he continued, sharing that the driver sped off after seeing a police car. “We got chased and the car flipped and the guy next to me was killed. It was horrific. Everybody was messed up.”
