Aaron Carter’s Near Fatal Crash

‘Access Hollywood’ spoke with Aaron Carter following his near fatal SUV accident after the singer drove over a mattress in his Cadillac Escalade. The mattress caused a fire underneath the car. Aaron was able to pull the car over and exit shortly before the car exploded. Carter was trying to extinguish the flames with water bottles when the entire car blew up from the bottom, blowing out all of the windows. “I am so lucky to be alive right now,” Aaron told ‘Access’. ” I can’t believe I survived another near death experience — I feel like I am a cat and I only have five lives left! I am still in shock over everything that just happened, but I really want to thank all the policemen and emergency workers who rushed to help me. Also, the support of my father, lawyer and friends are really helping me to stay positive.” The 17-year-old added that he saw no reason to seek out his estranged mother Jane at this time.
