Fan meets Oprah due to SUV accident but thought it was toe-tally worth it

This fan got to meet Oprah Winfrey due to an SUV accident, but she thought it was toe-tally worth it.

Usually, people get to meet their celebrity idols in a more formal setting, like a meet-and-greet.

But for Lori Geller Bender, meeting Oprah came after an unfortunate run-in with the talk show host’s black Cadillac Escalade.

Even though she picked up an injury in the encounter, it was worthwhile for the Florida mother of two.

This woman ended up meeting Oprah after a SUV incident in Miami

Lori Geller Bender ended up meeting Oprah in a way that she couldn’t have possibly imagined.

The Florida mom of two was heading to a restaurant in Miami when a black Cadillac Escalade pulled up and people began swarming.

A parking attendant told her that Oprah was sitting inside the vehicle.

As Oprah’s driver went to turn away, he went over Bender’s big toe over her left foot – and stopped.

With her foot trapped underneath the car, she fell to the ground as her husband banged on the driver’s window.

The car backed up, and Oprah leapt out of the car to come to her side.

“She couldn’t have been nicer and more gracious. She looked really shocked and asked me if I was OK, and took a good look at my foot,” Bender told Page Six.

“I wasn’t hurt, and I told her I was fine. Oprah said, ‘Well, that’s worth a picture,’ and she put her arm around me and we took some photos.”

That’s one way to get a selfie.

For Bender, this SUV incident fulfilled one of her lifelong ambitions.

“It has always been on my bucket list to meet Oprah, but I could never have imagined it would be because her driver ran over my toe. It’s a crazy story,” she said.

Fortunately for the media personality, Bender isn’t the type to sue: “That’s not my way. You say ‘Thank God you’re OK’, and you move on.”

Oprah’s usually giving out cars, not smoothing over altercations

If you’re a billionaire like the 71-year-old entrepreneur, you’ve got plenty of cash to spend when it comes to filling up your garage.

The media tycoon has an impressive collection to her name, including a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, a Tesla Model S, and the aforementioned Cadillac Escalade.

Back when she had a daytime talk show, she was prone to giving cars away to people in her audience.

In 2004, she left her audience jumping for joy when she gifted each one of them a Pontiac G6.

She repeated the magic in 2010 when she gave out Volkswagen Beetles, along with some sage words of wisdom.

So whether fans are walking away with a new car or an injured toe, Oprah is making dreams come true.
