Tessa Thompson stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this week to talk about how she spent the last few moments of 2020–but unfortunately for the actress, December 31 was just as bad as the rest of last year.

On the show, Tessa revealed her plans to spend a safe, socially-distanced New Years Eve in a cabin–but on her trip there, she got in an accident.

“I drove up a mountain to go to a cabin, and I thought, This will be totally safe because I won’t see anybody,” she explained. “But I got into a car accident, so I did have a socially distanced interaction.”

She continued, “I got hit by a big monster truck on the highway,” she continued. “Let’s put it this way. It is as ‘monster’ as a truck could be, driving with a regular commercial license. I got hit, but I’m safe, obviously, and actually, the driver was very lovely in the end.”

“I feel like I’m so used to car accidents because I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so it feels like accidents are my birthright,” she joked. “I’ve had many of them. But this was a pleasant one.”
