Help me write a small paragraph to my friend telling him in a sad way that “ the fact that i was involved in a car accident with my friends and my family doesn’t know about that it’s eating me”

Hey [Friend], I need to tell you something that's been weighing heavily on me. I was involved in a car accident with my friends, and I haven't been able to bring myself to tell my family about it. The guilt and fear of their reaction has been eating away at me. I just needed to confide in someone, and I trust you enough to share this with you. Thank you for listening.
