Kristin Cavallari is recovering from a car accident that sent her to the hospital Thursday.

"She was hit by another driver in Chicago. She is doing fine and will be discharged from the hospital shortly," a representative for the reality star told TODAY.

According to E! News, none of her children were in the car at the time.

It's been a difficult time for Cavallari's family. In December, the 29-year-old mom of three lost her older brother Michael, who was found dead at age 30 after a two-week search.

"My little angel, Saylor. She has been my light throughout this whole thing and has given me so much strength. Thank you baby girl for coming when u did," Cavallari wrote on Instagram.
