The woman who was driving Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Virgina Giuffre, before the car crashed with a bus last week has broken her silence.
Cheryl Sassela, 71, was behind the wheel of the car with Virginia on board before it collided with a school bus in Perth last week.
Virginia, who accused Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, posted on Instagram on March 30 that she had been in a car accident and had been given 'four days to live' after suffering 'kidney renal failure' from the crash.

In her emotional post, she added: "I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens."
The 41-year-old's family told LADbible Group that she remained in 'serious condition' after being 'banged up and bruised,' noting the post to her Instagram she 'thought she had posted on her private Facebook page'.
However, the Western Australia Police Force later said it received 'a report of a minor crash' which occurred between a car and a school bus.

The driver of the bus, named Ross Muss, also claimed it 'wasn't a major crash' to Mail Online.
"It's just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened. I didn't even see her in the car," he claimed.
Now, Cheryl, a caretaker at Virginia's $1.3 million hobby farm, has now spoken out about the saga.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, she said the incident, which resulted in a broken taillight on her car, had led to a misunderstanding.

"I'm not covering for her. I'm not implicated in a cover up," she said. "I'm sure Virginia will release a statement soon to clear it all up."
On Sunday, Virgina said in the Instagram post: "I won't bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can."
The bus driver said the crash took place at around 3pm on March 30 when he tried to overtake a slow-moving white car when it went under 75kmh.
But he claimed the car suddenly began to turn right as he was trying to overtake in the school bus that was travelling with 29 children still on board.

Munns claimed he beeped his horn, but ended up clipping the car and both vehicles stopped.
He said: "The driver basically pulled out in front of me. I made sure she was alright, and I went and did a police report. She was elderly and I asked if she was ok, and she said, 'Yes I'm ok'.
"I asked if she lived here and she said, 'No I'm a carer', and I told her she needs to put her indicator on when you have to turn.

"That's all the conversation was, and she asked how the kids were and I said, 'fine'. It wasn't a major crash."
Although he claimed not to have seen Virginia in the car, a police report later confirmed a 41-year-old passenger was in the passenger seat.
A spokesperson for Virgina also said she had 'made a mistake' by publishing the post publicly.
