Savannah Chrisley shared that her brother Grayson Chrisley is “beat up” but hanging in there after he “totaled” his truck in a recent accident.
“He’s OK,” Savannah, 25, said in Tuesday’s episode of her podcast, “Unlocked.” “He’s beat up, but he’s OK. It could’ve been worse, so thank the good Lord above.”
Savannah and Grayson’s mom, Julie Chrisley — who recorded her guest appearance on the podcast prior to being sentenced to seven years in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion — echoed that the crash “could’ve been a lot worse.”
“When he told me, he was like, ‘I hit the back of someone,'” Savannah explained while laughing, adding that Grayson, 16, “made it sound like a fender bender.”
Savannah told listeners that she went to check out her brother’s Ford F-150 after the accident, and it was completely “totaled” with “every airbag deployed.”
“It was bad,” she shared. “When I showed up and saw it, literally my heart sank.”

Grayson was rushed to a hospital in Nashville after the accident earlier this month to check for head injuries when his family joined him by his side.
“With all the legal stuff y’all got going on, Grayson, the first thing he said was, ‘This was the last thing that everyone needed,'” Savannah recalled, explaining that their dad, Todd Chrisley, assured the teen, “‘You’re alive, and you’re safe, and you’re well.'”
The Sassy Cosmetics founder also joked about how Grayson asked her to go back to the vehicle to retrieve a Polaroid photo of their dad that he kept on his dashboard.
“I thought this was going to be some heartfelt photo, like you and dad together. No, it’s Todd Chrisley in pure Todd Chrisley fashion, and I saw it, and I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,'” Savannah said with a laugh.

The mother-daughter duo ended the segment by explaining that they are still trying to “find the silver lining in everything.”
In addition to Julie’s sentencing, Todd, 53, received 12 years in prison. The two also have to pay $17.2 million in restitution for their alleged $36 million fraud scheme.
The couple have stated that they plan to appeal their sentences, but in the meantime, Julie, 49, explained on the podcast that they will “remain a family even if it looks different.”
The former “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were found guilty of multiple charges in June.
