Prince Andrew accuser has 'days to live' after crash

Giuffre, who was most recently living in Australia, posted a photo of her bruised face lying on a hospital bed on Instagram, explaining that doctors told her she had “four days to live” due to kidney failure following the wreck.

“This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can,” the 42-year-old wrote in a post on Sunday.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” she continued.

“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. Shit in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be shit at the end of the day,” she wrote.

Dini von Mueffling, Ms Giuffre’s representative, told The Times: “Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”
