Princess Maria Carolina is 'lucky to be alive' after surviving serious motorcycle accident

Princess Maria Carolina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies is "lucky to be alive" after suffering a motorcycle accident.

In her Instagram post, Maria Carolina warned her 173,000 followers to be careful when out on the road. The eldest daughter of Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, and Princess Camilla, Duchess of Castro, recently attended the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival on May 13 in France.

"I'm incredibly lucky to be alive," the 21-year-old began her post. "I crashed headfirst into a wall whilst riding a motorcycle and ended up in reanimation in the Intensive Care Unit. Surviving this was nothing short of a miracle."

"My deepest thanks to the outstanding team at Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace for their expert care during those critical days, and to the emergency medical team and first responders on the scene, whose quick and decisive actions in those first moments made all the difference," Maria Carolina concluded her post with a praying emoji.

Fox News Digital reached out to the royal's office for comment.
