Lucas Adams (Noah, Young and the Restless) reveals his sister was badly injured in a drunk-driving crash and warns fans about scammers.
Almost mirroring Noah Newman’s storyline on The Young and the Restless, where he recently survived a terrible car accident, actor Lucas Adams is facing his own real-life scare. His sister, Audrie Farris, was involved in a horrific crash after a drunk driver hit her head-on and sent her off the road.
In an Instagram Story on November 15, Lucas shared the heartbreaking news but added a huge dose of relief: everyone involved is alive.
Still, his sister suffered serious injuries. He wrote, “My sister was hit head-on by a drunk driver over the weekend. Thankfully, she is going to be okay, but has a long road ahead of her as her hip and foot were broken. Her and her husband Josh have eight kids and could use all the help they can get to get through this. I’m sharing her Venmo. If you can or would like to support them, I know they would very much appreciate it.”
Lucas Adams Reveals a Fake

Shortly after, Lucas returned to Instagram with a warning. A scammer had already tried to exploit the situation by creating a fake Venmo account with a slightly different spelling to trick people into sending money.
He cautioned fans, “Sadly, someone is trying to exploit the situation and created a fake account. If you are planning to donate, please be sure to choose ‘audriefarris,’ all lowercase with one s.”
Lucas Adams is well-known to daytime fans for his run on Days of Our Lives as Tripp Dalton, a role that earned him two Daytime Emmy Award nominations before his exit in 2019.
On November 4, he officially made his debut as the new Noah Newman on The Young and the Restless. Noah has just awakened from his on-screen accident with his face fully bandaged. Watch Y&R weekdays on CBS, and be sure to donate to his sister if you can.
