The actress was driving alone when her car went into a ditch. She was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities have stated that alcohol and drugs were not involved. She was not cited for the incident.

“I’m home and good. Thank you for your concern,” Locklear wrote in the caption next to a picture of roses she shared on Instagram Friday morning.

 

Several months ago, reports surfaced that the television star had just got out of rehab for the fifth time. However, Locklear seemed to reject those claims when she issued this statement.

“I am feeling great and am taking steps to enrich and better my life,” Locklear said. “Currently I am working on tying up some loose ends regarding certain issues so I can hit 2017 full steam ahead.”
