A man claiming to be the school bus driver allegedly involved in a road crash incident which Virginia Guiffre said left her with 'days to live' has spoken out.
On March 30, a post was shared to the Instagram page of Virginia Giuffre - the woman who accused Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse.
The Instagram post featured a picture of Giuffre covered in bruises, lying on her side in what looks to be a hospital bed.
The caption detailed she'd been in a car accident with a school bus and had been given 'four days to live' after going into 'kidney renal failure'.

The Western Australia Police Force later released a statement about 'a report of a minor crash' which occurred between a car and a school bus.
Giuffre's family later said in a statement to LADbible Group that Virginia remained in 'serious condition' after being 'banged up and bruised,' noting the post to her Instagram she 'thought she had posted on her private Facebook page'.
In an exclusive interview with Mail Online, a man claiming to be the school bus driver allegedly involved in the crash - named Ross Munns - spoke out about the incident.
He said the crash occurred around 3pm on March 30 when he tried to overtake a slow-moving white car when it went under 75kmh - the car allegedly suddenly beginning to turn right as he was trying to overtake in the school bus.
Munns claimed he beeped his horn, but ended up clipping the car and both vehicles stopped.
He said: "The driver basically pulled out in front of me. I made sure she was alright, and I went and did a police report. She was elderly and I asked if she was ok, and she said, 'Yes I'm ok'.
"I asked if she lived here and she said, 'No I'm a carer', and I told her she needs to put her indicator on when you have to turn.
"That's all the conversation was, and she asked how the kids were and I said, 'fine'. It wasn't a major crash."
Munns claims he didn't see anyone else in the car. However, a police report later confirmed there was a 41-year-old woman in the passenger seat.
Nevertheless, the alleged school bus driver claims the incident was a 'minor collision' and he believes it's 'all blown out of proportion,' in disbelief over Giuffre's Instagram post, arguing he was 'doing 75km/h' not '110km/h'.
Giuffre's post read: "This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can."
The post continued: "I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day.
"Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia."
