The early morning call The Rock received is one no one wants to get. He learned his mother, Ata Johnson, had been in a frightening car accident in Los Angeles. But thanks to divine intervention, The Rock's mom escaped serious harm.
"Thank you God -- she’s ok," he wrote on social media. "Angels of mercy watched over my mom as she was in a multiple car crash in the middle of the night last night."
The Rock shared a terrifying image on social media showing just how bad the damage was to the vehicle in which Ata rode. And it's chilling to think of just how badly the car accident involving Ata Johnson could have ended. But Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson assured everyone his mother is going to be ok. And it was one of those moments reaffirming God's angels at work.

"She’s a survivor, in ways that make angels and miracles real," he explained.
The Rock praised the first responders who came to his mother's aid. And he gave another update on Ata's condition while attending The Grammy's, reiterating just how scary it was to get a call alerting him to his mother's car accident.

In addition to the gratitude over his mother's safety, The Rock also praised his mother's perseverance, having already survived "lung cancer, a tough marriage, a head-on collision with a drunk driver and attempted suicide." And he recognized what a blessing it was to have his mother still here with him today.

"I got one parent left," he said, "so if you still got your mom and dad make sure you hug ‘em hard, cos you never know when you’ll get that 3am call we never want to get."
Indeed, our time on this Earth is not guaranteed and can disappear in an instant! But The Rock's update is also a powerful reminder that God's guardian angels are very real and at work all around us!
