Pascal Dangin seems to be both prone to accidents and extremely lucky. The founder of Box Studios in New York City, which is one of the most distinguished photo-retouching firms in the business, was in a serious auto accident in the Hamptons over the weekend, when a drunk driver smashed into his Range Rover. The 44-year-old and his 13-year-old daughter escaped unscathed, according to the New York Post.
The accident comes hot on the heels of a plane crash that Dangin survived unharmed 13 months ago. The Frenchman was taking a flight lesson near his home in New York when his plane overshot the runway and crashed. Dangin escaped before the aircraft exploded.
"It would seem like I'm like a cat with nine lives," Dangin told the news source. He also mused that perhaps something was protecting him. "I believe, obviously, in some greater force. We're not alone. Something is watching over me. I feel very, very lucky to escape unharmed, not just for me but my daughter."
Mothers Against Drunk Driving, an advocacy organization that accepts donations, reports that approximately three out of 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. In 2008, an estimated 11,773 people died in car accidents caused by intoxicated drivers.
Experts urge partygoers to choose a designated driver before their night begins, or to plan on taking a taxi home.
Those who have been injured or traumatized in a crash can contact the Crash Survivors Network for resources and assistance.
