New Kids on the Block’s Donnie Wahlberg came close to death last week after losing control of the car he was driving.  He was driving from San Diego to Los Angeles Wednesday night after one of the gigs and fell asleep at the wheel missing the concrete barrier in the middle of traffic by mere inches:

“I nearly crashed my car after the gig. I was driving from San Diego to L.A. and I’d been on the road for three hours. I was so tired that my eyes kept closing. Then I fell asleep and it was raining.”   He adds, “I was like, ‘Whoa!’ And I’ve been quiet ever since. I’m so tired.”

That’s scary, isn’t it?
