Fox News anchor Bret Baier returned to set a day after his family got into a serious car crash where their SUV flipped on its side in the middle of a snowstorm.
The anchor and executive editor of 'Special Report' closed out his Tuesday show with a touching message for viewers to 'count your blessings and hug your family' after his family managed to escape the icy crash with minor injuries.
'I don't usually give advice but I think everyone should count your blessings, my family is tonight,' he said before recounting the accident.
'I drove the family Monday morning to the airport in Bozeman and it was snowing and the roads were icy and approaching an intersection just two miles from the airport I hit a big patch of ice and I could not stop our SUV.
Fox News anchor Bret Baier returned to his show Tuesday evening where he told his viewers: 'I had to be here today to show you that I was okay'
He became teary during his address as he recounted losing control of the vehicle and the Good Samaritans who rushed to his family's side after the accident
'We slid into the intersection of a busy road and into the path of a big pick-up truck, which slammed into our driver’s side door. The airbags deployed, the windows shattered, we careened into a ditch and flipped sideways.
'Then a man helped open the door so we could get out. Zach Black was driving by and just stopped to help us. The driver of the pick-up David had called the police and EMS and was concerned about our family first and foremost.
'We escaped with minor injuries: a concussion, 14 stitches on the chin, a jostled tooth and a sprained ankle. We are very blessed. Thank you Zach Black and for all the Zach's across the country who stop. Thank you David...
By the middle of his story, the news anchor had tears well up in his eyes as he urged his viewers to appreciate their families.
'As we were released from the hospital I tweeted this. "Don’t take anything for granted – every day is a blessing – and family is everything. It’s always good to remind yourself of that - before something does it for you"...and I meant it,' the anchor said.
'Sorry, I had to be here today to show you that I was okay,' he said wiping away a tear before signing off.
Local authorities released a picture of the crash scene showing the family's SUV on its side after sliding on an icy road in Montana on Monday.
The newsman, his wife Amy, and their two sons, Paul, 11, and Daniel, eight, have all been treated and released from the hospital, Baier said.

Baier (second from right), his wife Amy (left), and their two sons, Paul, age 11 (right), and Daniel, age 8 (second from left), had been on a family ski trip in Montana. Baier shared this photo to his public Facebook page on Saturday at 3pm
'After a weekend of skiing with my wife and two boys in Montana, driving to the airport Monday morning on icy roads, we were involved in a major car crash,' Baier told DailyMail.com in a statement.
'Thanks to a man driving by named Zach who stopped and helped, we were able to climb out of the flipped car. And thanks to the first responders and Montana Highway Patrol – we made it to the hospital quickly.'
And he wasn't the only one to lose control of his vehicle in the massive storm. There were 255 vehicle crashes reported over the course of Monday and Tuesday's snowstorm in Montana, according to the Great Falls Tribune.
Stephen Colbert was the first to reveal word of the crash, sharing on The Late Show on Monday night that Baier would no longer be appearing on his show as scheduled on Tuesday.
Baier told fans on his Facebook page on Tuesday: 'I will see you tonight for Special Report.'
On Saturday, Baier wrote, 'A great day skiing with the fam #blessed #montana #yc,' with a photo of himself and his family on the slopes.
Just two days later on their way home, the mood was much different as Baier's sport-utility vehicle slid on an icy road, collided with a pickup truck and turned over in a ditch, according to authorities.
Baier posted a tweet shortly before 6pm Eastern on Monday, while he and his family were on their way home from the hospial, 'banged up, but alive,' he said
The roadway was incredibly icy, John Barnes, a spokesperson for the Montana Department of Justice, said.
Baier was unable to stop at an intersection, and his vehicle was struck on the driver's side by another vehicle, Barnes said.
A photo provided by the Montana Highway Patrol showed Baier's vehicle on its side in a snowy ditch.
No citations were issued, and authorities don't suspect alcohol or drugs were factors in the crash, Barnes said.
Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Alex Velasquez called Baier 'very polite and respectful' throughout the ordeal.
In response, Baier tweeted: 'The [Montana Highway Patrol] @MTHwyPatrol were true pros and could not have handled things any better in a busy time for accidents in ice and snow. Same with the [Bozeman Fire Department] @BozemanFire and paramedics. #grateful'
More generally speaking, Baier said in his statement on Tuesday:
'We are very grateful to all of those who helped us out. My advice to everyone is to always wear your seatbelt and to count your blessings everyday.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
