Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo shared scary news that their daughter was involved in a major car accident, and they shared an even scarier image of the wreckage.

The singer and guitarist shared via Facebook, “This is our youngest daughter’s car. She was in a terrible accident in the early hours on Monday morning. It’s a miracle she is alive. She suffered only minor injuries and is at home recovering.”

They added, “This accident was caused by a drunk driver, who left the scene. So please, always buckle up, maintain your vehicle (those airbags saved her life) And DON’T DRIVE DRUNK OR HIGH, drive responsibly. Someone’s life depends on it.”

GALLERY: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Biggest Snubs

• Pat Benatar

  Share

  Benatar is a real tough cookie with a long history of being ignored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While she finally received her first nomination for the 2020 induction class, she's been eligible since 2004!

• Iron Maiden

  Share

  Iron Maiden's entire aesthetic, from their stage shows to their classic logo to their mascot, Eddie, is at least enough to get a nomination, but even that hasn't happened (yet) for the heavy metal icons.

• Soundgarden

  Share

  Soundgarden has been eligible for induction into the Rock Hall longer than most of their Seattle grunge contemporaries, and yet, they only received their first nomination for the 2020 class. Considering their influence on the generation of bands that followed them, it's a massive oversight.
• Melissa Etheridge

  Share

  Not enough is really said about how Melissa Etheridge came out as a lesbian in January 1993 only to nine months later release 'Yes I Am,' the album that would be her major breakthrough into the mainstream featuring hits like "I'm the Only One" and "Come to My Window." Looking back, that's a mind-blowing feat during a time when coming out wasn't always welcome as it is today. Add to the fact that she's consistently put out quality albums for nearly 30 years, has an incredible, easily recognizable voice and writes music that blurs the lines of rock, pop and folk, it's almost shocking she's never even been nominated.

• Eurythmics

  Share

  Nominated in 2017 and 2018, the Eurythmics' unique blend of rock, pop and new wave with singles like "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," "Here Comes the Rain Again," "Would I Lie to You?" and "Missionary Man" set them apart from most acts in 1980s. Between the powerful pipes of Annie Lennox and the producing prowess of Dave Stewart, this duo would on the surface seem like a shoo-in for induction, but they have yet to receive that honor.

• Jane’s Addiction

  Share

  Jane's Addiction helped lay the groundwork for much of the 1990's alternative rock boom thanks to albums like 1988's 'Nothing's Shocking' and 1990's 'Ritual De Lo Habitual.'
• The Runaways

  Share

  When it comes to influential women in hard rock, The Runaways should always be part of the conversation. A launching pad for Joan Jett and Lita Ford, the band's four studio albums feature some quintessential '70s hard rock jams including "School Days," "I Love Playing with Fire" and, of course, "Cherry Bomb." Their 1977 live album 'Live in Japan' is incredibly underrated, too. For added measure, a Runaways induction would make Jett a double-inductee.

• Bad Company

  Share

  Fronted by Paul Rodgers, easily one of the most-recognizable voices in rock history, you'd think Bad Company would've been inducted by now, but 20 years since they were first eligible for induction, they're still not in the Rock Hall.
