The Oscars are usually known for glitz, glamour, and the occasional stage-crasher, but for Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, the real drama happened before they even set foot on the red carpet. On Sunday, March 15, 2026, the power couple narrowly escaped what could have been a disastrous accident as their transport to the Dolby Theatre nearly overturned.

A Sudden Change in Plans
The evening started with a logistical hiccup. Due to heightened security perimeters around the Dolby Theatre—rumored to be tied to regional geopolitical tensions—the couple’s usual luxury Sprinter van was unable to clear the final checkpoint.
To ensure they reached the ceremony on time, organizers shuttled the pair into a golf cart. What should have been a quick, breezy ride turned into a viral nightmare.
The Near-Miss: One Wheel in the Air
In a video obtained by TMZ, the driver of the golf cart can be seen accelerating through a sharp turn to beat the clock. The sudden momentum caused the vehicle to rock violently to one side, with one wheel actually lifting off the pavement.
Priyanka and Nick were seen visibly jolted, grabbing the sides of the cart to maintain their balance. For a split second, it looked as though the cart would flip entirely. Fortunately, the driver managed to correct the steering, bringing all four wheels back to the ground and continuing toward the entrance.
From Near-Crash to Center Stage
Priyanka didn't just attend; she was a key figure of the night. She took the stage alongside Javier Bardem to present the award for Best International Feature Film (which went to the Norwegian film Sentimental Value).
The night remained eventful as Bardem made a bold "No to War" statement during their presentation, with Priyanka nodding in supportive agreement—a far cry from the chaotic golf cart ride just hours prior.
