Duff recounts the incident, explaining he was on his way home from the airport when another vehicle unexpectedly crashed into his. Fortunately, his injuries were confined to his hand, but the road to recovery will be extensive. This setback is particularly significant for Duff, given that a good deal of his career hinges on the dexterity of his hands.
From OK! Magazine:
"On my way home from the airport I was thinking about what kind of cake I was going to make for my daughters birthday. Next thing I knew I bleeding and surrounded by airbags," the American pastry chef explained in the caption of a post, which featured an image of his bandaged hand.
He continued: "A drunk driver had swerved into my lane on a windy country road. After doing a systems check and finding that my only injury was to my hand, I thanked my lucky stars that I’d still be there to celebrate her third birthday even if I couldn’t make her cake."
"I’m fine, but it’s gonna be a long road to recovery, and for someone like me who makes a living with my hands you can imagine that this is no joke," the Ace of Cakes alum admitted, before reminding his 739,000 followers not to get behind the wheel while under the influence.
Goldman concluded: "There’s no excuse for driving drunk. None. Uber, taxi, call a friend. No excuse. Stay safe friends, count your blessings. If you’re drinking don’t drive, and if you’re driving, don’t drink."
Driving under the influence remains one of the most reckless decisions any adult can make in today's world. It's simple: if you're going to drive, don't drink. But if you slip up, as Duff pointed out, there are plenty of alternatives to ensure a safe ride home.
