Married At First Sight’s Connie Crayden is left shaken after a car accident in Melbourne when ‘another vehicle came smashing into us’
Married At First Sight’s Connie Crayden and star of the New Zealand version of the show Samuel Levi were involved in a car crash in Melbourne on Wednesday.
The reality stars had just enjoyed the Kokoda Track Memorial Walk in Tremont when another car smashed into the side of Samuel’s vehicle at a nearby red light.
Nobody sustained any injuries in the collision and most of the damage was to the other person’s vehicle, but it left the pair shaken and thankful for their luck.

‘Me and Connie were just driving. We just finished the 1000 steps and were at the lights and another car came smashing into the side of us,’ said Samuel.
‘I don’t think that’s happened to me in a while and I think we were just shocked. We were like, “What the hell just happened?”‘
The Kiwi explained that he then helped the female driver of the other vehicle survey the damage to her car, establishing that she required mechanical assistance.

Samuel continued: ‘Connie took a photo of me trying to help the poor lady out and put her bumper back on. It had come off and was mangled.
‘Safe to say she was not going anywhere.’
He added: ‘Poor thing… that 100% woke us up more than our morning coffee.’

Samuel went on to thank the ‘lucky charm’ in his car for keeping him safe – an air-freshener attached to his rear-view mirror in the shape of a Converse trainer.
