Lucas Adams, who portrays Noah Newman on The Young and the Restless, faced a terrifying real-life emergency the weekend of November 15 when his sister, Audrie Farris, was seriously injured in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. The actor shared the news on Instagram, revealing both the severity of the crash and the long recovery Audrie now faces, as well as the immediate need for support for her family of ten.
Key Takeaways
- Adams says his sister Audrie survived a head-on collision with a drunk driver.
- She faces surgeries and a long recovery with eight children at home.
- Adams warned fans after a scammer created a fake donation account.
A Violent Crash and a Long Recovery Ahead
Adams posted a photo of the totaled vehicle on his Instagram Stories — a devastating image showing just how close the family came to a fatal tragedy. In his message, he explained that Audrie suffered a broken hip and foot and will require extensive recovery time. Her husband, Josh, was also in the vehicle.
For a family with eight children, the road ahead is daunting. Adams shared Audrie’s Venmo to help with immediate medical and household needs, writing that any support “would be very much appreciated.”
His post immediately galvanized fans, colleagues, and members of the daytime community who wanted to help.
A Scammer Tries to Exploit the Crisis
Unfortunately, as often happens online, someone attempted to take advantage of the situation. Shortly after Adams posted Audrie’s real Venmo username, a scammer created a nearly identical account to trick donors.
“Sadly, someone is trying to exploit the situation and created a fake account,” Adams warned in a follow-up message. He emphasized that the correct account is audriefarris — all lowercase with one “s.”
His quick clarification protected countless fans who were trying to donate in good faith.
A Look Back at Adams’ Daytime Journey
Adams first appeared on The Young and the Restless in 2012 as a day player before moving to Days of our Lives, where he earned two Daytime Emmy nominations for his work as Tripp Dalton. He returned to DAYS in 2020 and stayed through 2024.
In November 2025, Adams officially stepped back into Genoa City as the new Noah Newman, debuting in the November 4 episode. His return generated excitement among fans — but now, his focus is squarely on helping his family through an unimaginable ordeal.
