*Sunny Hostin has opened up about a car accident involving her son, Gabriel Hostin, which sent him flying over the hood of the vehicle.
According to Hostin, Gabriel, a 21-year-old junior at Harvard University, was riding an electric skateboard in Cambridge, Mass. recently when recently struck by a moving vehicle, EW.com reports.
“[My husband] Manny got the call first. Gabriel loves to get around Cambridge on his electric skateboard,” Hostin told “The View” executive producer Brian Teta on Thursday’s episode of the Behind the Table podcast. “He got hit by a car, and he flew over the hood of the car, and because he was not wearing the helmet that I bought for him the only way to kind of protect his head was to land on his right shoulder, which he dislocated and we believe is somewhat fractured.”
Hostin said the woman who was driving the car “was in shock” after the crash and Gabriel comforted her at the scene.

“She got out of the car and she was crying and she was shaking,” Hostin revealed. “My son is pretty big — he’s about 6’2. She was a very short woman. Apparently the police report says he enveloped her with his good arm and said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m going to be okay.'”
She continued, “So, he’s making the person that hit him feel better by saying he’s going to be okay. He isn’t okay. He’s in a lot of pain. He doesn’t really believe in pharma, pharmaceuticals, so he’s taking turmeric supplements. I’ve tried to get him to take at least Advil. So he’ll have, we think, a sling on for four to six weeks.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Sunny recalled being filled with emotions after dropping Gabriel off for his third year at Harvard University, The Sun reports.
“Is it still hard to say goodbye?” Brian asked the talk show host.
“I could not believe, Brian, how hard it was to leave [Gabriel] there, and I thought it would get easier every year,” Sunny admitted about sending her son off to school. She then revealed her surprising reaction before leaving her son’s dorm.
“We went to help him, and we finally finished; it took us two days. He gave me the look that your three-year-old gives you when you’re going out to dinner, and they don’t know what time you’re coming back. That’s the only way I can explain it,” Sunny said about her oldest child.
“And so, then he’s like kind of teary-eyed, and then I start crying. My husband’s like, ‘This is ridiculous. You two are ridiculous.’ We’re very close.”
