Veteran FOX Sports reporter Erin Andrews was gearing up for her coverage of the Green Bay Packers Week 1 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings last week when she encountered a life-threatening situation.

The driver of her car fell asleep at the wheel.

During an appearance on her podcast with Charissa Thompson, "Calm Down with Erin and Charissa," Andrews explained that she had planned to take a car service from Chicago to Green Bay so she could listen in on conference calls ahead of a sit-down interview with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
