Virginia Giuffre – the woman whose story of sexual abuse as a teenager led to the reopening of the Jeffrey Epstein case – is fighting for her life after a car accident in Australia.

Giuffre posted an Instagram photo of her in a hospital bed covered in bruises, characterising her injuries as life threatening. The 41-year-old, from California, said she had been told she has four days left to live, according to the post, which was first reported by the British media.

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure,” she said. “They have given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.”

Giuffre said she was struck by a speeding bus after she tried to swerve her car to avoid the collision. She did not say when or where the crash took place.

Giuffre was among the first victims to speak out publicly about her abuse by Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew and several other prominent men, whom she accused of trafficking her. She later formed a non-profit organisation to educate and advocate for sex trafficking victims.
