Bill Kaulitz, the frontman for the popular group Tokio Hotel is recovering today from a serious car accident and he claims he is lucky to be alive.

He was on his way to the MTV Europe Music Awards on the autobahn in Germany and he lost control of his car.

He says, "Normally, I'm a very careful driver, have never been in an accident and never speed. Suddenly another car pulled into my lane without indicating. Trying to avoid it, I lost control over the wheel.

Kaulitz claims he was in shock and has been suffering from nightmares ever since. He says when he closes his eyes to sleep all he can see is the accident because he thought he would just never make it out alive.

He credits his life to the fact that he was driving an Audi.

hey bill. I just want to say that I love you and I hope you get better. When my best friend said "Bill Kaulitz has been in a car accident.", I screamed really loud because I was scared that you weren't okay. But after I read this, I feel relieved knowing that no physical harm was done.

man, i really hate that other driver. poor bill, i know exactly how he feels. i'm just so grateful that nobody was physically hurt. i think someone's guardian angel was watching that day. i don't know what i would do if one of these boys were seriously hurt, and i pray i never have to find out. about the nightmares, they may never actually go away, but they'll get less intense over time. trust me. peace <3
