Gia got in a car accident during the ‘Full House’ episode titled ‘Stephanie’s Wild Ride’
During “Stephanie’s Wild Ride,” Gia and Stephanie pretended to be high school students to talk to some guys. When DJ Tanner first finds out, she’s cool about it. However, she’s not cool when she learns that she got a ride with them.
They drove on the wrong side of the road and even pretended that the steering wheel was stuck. Stephanie freaked out, but then she realized how cool it was. Later that day, she planned to go out with them again.
Meanwhile, Danny Tanner and the other adults were preoccupied with Michelle’s video game. It was up to DJ to stop her little sister from endangering her life. While Stephanie stayed home, being mad at her sister, Gia went with those boys.
Then, she got in a car accident. Gia was okay, even though she went to the hospital. Eventually, Stephanie thanked DJ for making the right decision for her.
