20-year-old British socialite Peaches Geldof, former wild child and tabloid darling, has been involved in a full frontal collision just hours ago, as she and friends were speeding to Disney World in Florida. Despite the fact that speeding was a cause and the car was badly damaged in the crash, Peaches walked away unhurt, the Mirror informs.

Moreover, the star took to her Twitter page to document her impressions of the incident. Just minutes before the actual crash, Peaches tweeted about how the driver was speeding like crazy and she was enjoying the ride. Up next, the driver’s foot reportedly slipped off the pedal and the car went into a 360-degree spin and then crashed, presumably on the side of the freeway.

“Speeding like I have never, ever witnessed before on the freeway. Feel like I’m in a scary car chase video game,” Peaches tweeted shortly before the crash. Later on, she returned to Twitter to brag to her followers about how she had cheated death. “Just actually experienced a full-on car crash. Can’t believe we’re alive after that. The front of the car is totally [expletive]-ed up and yet we’re still carrying on to Disney!” The driver also tweeted, “Lol @ death.”

Friends that were also in the car took to their Twitter pages as well, uploading photos of the wrecked car and then of the group at Disney, where they all made it in one piece, much to their surprise. The driver, for one, tweeted that the crash had not been her fault, since her foot slipped on the pedals, therefore she carried none of the blame for the wreckage. Whether anyone will be charged for the accident is yet to be announced.

“This is all that happened after a full 360 across three lanes of freeway traffic!?” another passenger in the car tweeted. Another was not amazed, but saw the funny side of the situation, saying that, “the front of the car is all mangled and smoking maybe we can use it as a barbie?”
