Kelly Dodd‘s husband, Rick Leventhal, is in the emergency room after being involved in a nasty car accident — seemingly related to SoCal’s fierce storms — and he says he’s fortunate he’s not dead.
The ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ alum just posted video of her husband’s crash and she tells TMZ … Rick was driving her white Mercedes-Benz S-Class out to Palm Desert, CA Tuesday when the accident happened on a wet and slick freeway.

Kelly says Rick suffered broken ribs and was transported by ambulance to a hospital. We’re told the car was totaled, but Rick will be okay.
Kelly’s asking for prayers on social media, and they’ve already canceled their Wednesday podcast episode for “The Rick & Kelly Show!”
Rick commented on Kelly’s post, saying … “Honestly I’m lucky to be alive. Scariest moments of my life. This makes everything even more meaningful ❤️.”
California’s still getting hammered by a fierce winter storm that’s causing evacuations, deaths and tons of problems all over the state and it appears the rain may have played a role in Rick’s crash.
Kelly wasn’t with Rick at the time of the crash … she’s on a trip to Aspen.
