Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser who alleged Prince Andrew abused her, said in an Instagram post she got into a car accident with a school bus and was now in a Perth hospital.

In the post, Giuffre shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with her face covered in bruises.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live,” she wrote. However authorities in Australia where she resides have appeared to push back on the extent of the injuries.

Guiffre said a school bus “driving 110km” hit her car as it was slowing for a turn, but didn’t say when or where the crash had happened.

In response to a CNN inquiry, Giuffre’s spokesperson Dini von Mueffling said, “Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”

The post did not say where or when the road accident happened, but previous court filings list Giuffre as domiciled in Australia.

Western Australia Police referred CNN to a report of a “minor” collision between a car and a bus near Perth on March 24, stating, “The car sustained approximately $2000 worth of damage. There were no reported injuries as a result of the crash.”

A source with knowledge of the situation told CNN on Tuesday that Giuffre is a current inpatient at a hospital in Perth, but is not in a life-threatening condition.

Giuffre does have the bruising shown in the social picture, according to the source, but has not at this stage told the hospital what caused those injuries.

In 2019, Giuffre publicly alleged Epstein trafficked her and forced her to have sex with his friends, including Prince Andrew, when she was 17 years old. (Nine)

CNN has reached out to Giuffre’s spokesperson for further comment.

Giuffre was one of the most prominent accusers of the wealthy sex offender Epstein.

In 2019, Giuffre publicly alleged Epstein trafficked her and forced her to have sex with his friends, including Prince Andrew, when she was 17 years old. She also claimed the prince was aware she was underage in the US at the time.

The prince, also known as the Duke of York, repeatedly denied the claims.

In 2021, Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Prince Andrew for alleged sexual abuse.

The following year, she reached an out-of-court settlement with the prince for an undisclosed amount.

Andrew later paid the settlement and attorneys for both parties filed a stipulation for the lawsuit to be dismissed.

“Prince Andrew intends to make a substantial donation to Ms Giuffre’s charity in support of victims’ rights. Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms Giuffre’s character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks,” according to a letter filed to the court announcing the settlement.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges and in July 2019 was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors accused him of carrying out a decades-long scheme of sexual abuse of underage girls, flying them on private planes to his properties in Florida, New York, New Mexico and the US Virgin Islands. He died by suicide in prison before he could face trial.
