His mother and cousin were injured in a head-on collision last weekend with a drunk driver.
And
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson looked understandably relieved as he took
mother Ata Naivia-Johnson home from the hospital on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old grinned as he pushed his smiling mother in a wheelchair in a new Instagram snap.
'Grateful': Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson took his mother Ata home from the hospital on Tuesday following a DUI crash
In the caption, the Hercules star expressed his gratitude for his mother's recovery.
'Takin' mama home. Banged up, but she's a tough one and will make a full recovery.
'Grateful
to see her smile. And thank you guys for all the prayers, love and well
wishes. #GratitudeAndBearHugs #ChoicesMatter #100PercentPreventable
#DontDrinkAndDrive'.
His family was in an accident: Dwayne shared
this photo on Twitter Sunday of wreckage from an accident his mother and
cousin were in; on Monday it was revealed the driver who caused the
crash was being chased by police
Meanwhile, the police
charged the woman who crashed into the car driven by Dwayne's mother with driving under the influence on Monday.
The head on collision happened on August 2 in Clermont, Florida, but Dwayne only revealed the details on Sunday.
The woman jumped two red lights as she was chased by the police, according to TMZ.
The star's mother was returning from a charity event with his cousin, Savelina 'Lina' Fanene, a WWE Diva.
The
Lake County Sheriff's Department explained the accident happened just
minutes after police started following the intoxicated driver.
Dwayne, whose pro-wrestling name is The
Rock, shared a scary looking photo on Sunday of the wreckage which
included two white cars smashed in the front with an ambulance in the
background.

movie star visited cousin Savelina, who also goes by the name Lina, in

His big summer movie: Johnson in Hercules
'My
mom & cousin...were struck head on by a drunk driver this week -
they lived,' he captioned the post. 'First reaction is to find the
person who did this and do unrelenting harm to them.'
The Fast & Furious 6 actor then added, 'But
then you realize the most important thing is my family lived thru this
and we can hug each other that much tighter these days.'
He also wrote, 'Hug your own family tighter today and be grateful you can tell them you love them.'
Ata and Savelina were in the white 2012 Cadillac Escalade the star gave his mother for Christmas in 2012.
The drunk driver 'suffered facial injuries and was taken to the hospital,' the site added.
Savelina posted a photo of The Rock visiting her in the hospital.
Without any makeup on and wearing prescription glasses, the beauty was almost unrecognizable.
She pulled a funny face as she sat in her hospital bed.
