I\u2019m seeing flashbacks like crazy right now. When I went to go to sleep last night, that\u2019s all I kept seeing was that big rock falling in front of my car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the 62-year-old said he feels lucky to be alive and is trying to move past the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod is good. He wasn\u2019t ready for me!\u201d he joked. \u201cThe only thing I can do for myself is try to leave it in the past now and move forward, because I\u2019m grateful to be here\u2026 I feel like a cat that just got another life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Flavor Flav Opens Up About Nearly Being Crushed to Death (Full Interview)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3dd5mcesA0I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While detailing his close brush with death, Flavor Flav revealed he noticed \u201ca lot of rocks in the street\u201d while driving on the road, but there was no sign warning people about falling rocks \u2014 until he saw the boulder fall from the sky.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019m driving, all I see is this big, giant object coming across my windshield and then it hit the street,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd as soon as this boulder hit the street on the right side of my car \u2014 the rock grazed my car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cI was doing maybe 36, 37 miles per hour when that boulder came down in front of my car. If I was doing 42 or 43 miles per hour, that boulder would\u2019ve crushed the hood and the windshield of my car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flav explained he drove away \u201cin fear\u201d for a few miles to reach safety, where he was flagged down by another driver who witnessed the collision. While he managed to escape any more falling rocks, he wasn\u2019t able to avoid a celebrity moment with fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a guy that was pulling over with me. He was signaling to me to roll the window down,\u201d he said. \u201cI roll the window down and he said, \u2018Hey, I seen that back there.\u2019 And then as soon as I got out the car he was like, \u2018Oh my God! Flavor effing Flav!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his traumatic experience, the effusive Flav remains in high spirits. \u201cI <em>never<\/em> listen to my GPS and that day, I listened to my GPS. I\u2019ll never do it again, I\u2019ll never listen to my GPS again,\u201d he joked. \u201cStick to the highways, Flav.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Andy Bustard\"><br \/>\nby Andy Bustard\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
