Wahlberg, a member of the New Kids On the Block, nearly collided with the central barrier on a California highway.
The singer, who was on his way back to Los Angeles after a San Diego performance, was too tired to be driving. The three-hour trip may have ended in Wahlberg’s death when he briefly closed his eyes.
Since the near-accident, the singer says that he has stayed calm. His band mate, Jordan Knight, added that the group’s reunion tour has been exhausting, and they will take measures to give them all enough rest.
