Katie Price has spoken of her terror after she was nearly killed in a car crash.

The glamour model was left with severe whiplash after two wild horses collided with her and boyfriend Leandro Penna's jeep in Argentina.

According to the Daily Mail, the stallions jumped a fence as Penna drove round a bend at 35mph, resulting in the animals smashing through the windscreen and dying on impact.

The reality television star and mother-of-three told the publication:

"It was absolutely terrifying. It all happened in a flash and I have absolutely no idea how I wasnÂ’t badly injured.

"I feel so lucky, but more than anything IÂ’m just distraught about the horses. It was so upsetting.

Witnesses said the only reason the 35-year-old and her Argentinean model boyfriend, Penna, survived the crash was because they were in such a sturdy vehicle and were wearing their seatbelts.

A spokesperson for Price, who is also known as Jordan, said:

"There was an accident and sadly two horses were killed. Katie and Leandro are OK, though understandably shaken."

The couple met in February of this year at Elton John's Oscars party.

Price's first husband, Peter Andre, is currently looking after their three children in Cyprus, while she is in Argentina.

Her divorce from second husband, Alex Reid, is also set to be finalised in the next two weeks.
