Katie Price was caught up in a car crash yesterday.
The accident happened near Cordoba in Argentina, where the mum of three is currently holidaying with her model boyfriend Leandro Penna.
He was driving the Toyota jeep, which contained three of Katie?s camera crew, when two wild stallions ran in front of the vehicle, causing the collision and one of them smashed through the windscreen.
Both animals, which had jumped a fence and escaped their enclosure, died instantly and the 4�4 was declared a write-off.
Speaking about the terrifying ordeal, Katie told The Mirror:
?It was absolutely terrifying. It all happened in a flash and I have absolutely no idea how I wasn?t badly injured.?
?I feel so lucky, but more than anything I?m just distraught about the horses. It was so upsetting.?
The former glamour model ? who is a horse enthusiast and keeps her own at local stables ? is said to have suffered cuts to her hands as well as whiplash.
Leandrohurt his neck and the three other passengers were given routine check-ups.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper that the pair are lucky to be alive and Leandro?s quick-thinking could have saved them.
They said: ?Quite frankly, it beggars belief that Katie and Leo survived at all. And Katie knows just how close she came to dying.
?The two animals ploughed into their vehicle, with one flying through the windscreen, backside-first, hitting both Katie and Leo simultaneously.
?Luckily, Leandro reacted lightning-quick, braked hard and swerved violently the moment he saw the horses. Although it wasn?t enough to save the horses, undoubtedly his reactions saved the pair?s lives, plus those of the three passengers in the back.
They added: ?But Kate was far more concerned about the death of the stallions than she was her own injuries. She is badly shaken up and she was in pieces all of last night.?
A spokesperson for the reality star confirmed the accident had happened and two horses had been killed and Katie and Leandro are: ?Ok, though understandably shaken.?
