Kristin Cavallari was involved in a car accident on Thursday and is currently in the hospital.
"She was hit by another driver in Chicago," a rep for Cavallari told The Huffington Post. "She is doing fine and will be discharged from the hospital shortly."
Cavallari has had a difficult few weeks. Days after giving birth to her third child in December, her brother Michael was found dead . He had been reported as missing for nearly two weeks after his abandoned car was discovered in Utah.
"My heart is in a million pieces," Cavallari wrote on Instagram under a photo of her and her late brother as children. "Mikey, I could always count on you to make me laugh. You had such a good heart and will be forever missed. I'm at a loss for words but I know u are in a better place and finally at peace. I love u so much RIP."
