On Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show Monday, Brandy opened up about her return to the music scene at the fatal December 2006 car crash that nearly sent her to prison.

“It was just a tough situation to go through. I can’t really talk about it in any great detail because of legal matters but it was just something that I don’t like to think about often,” the Grammy Award-winning said on Monday’s On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.

“You have to understand that you don’t intend for things like that to happen; it’s an accident… and that’s how you get through things like that.”

“I prayed a lot and I had great people around me to help me up and lift my spirits and I got through it… but I don’t even think that I’m all the way over it. I don’t think you can ever get over something like that – but I’m able to live my life without feeling the way I did in the beginning. I’m a lot more cautious driving, you don’t want anything like that to happen again.”
