Calvin Harris is "doing better" following his scary car accident over the weekend.

E! News has learned that the world-famous DJ and producer was "in shock" after the incident and is focusing on recuperating this week.

"He is keeping an eye on his body to make sure he is 100% this week," our insider told us, adding that he told his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, shortly after the accident.

"He didn't want to alarm [her]…She was very caring when they connected on the phone when it initially happened."

After Friday's crash, a police spokesperson told E! News that a teenage female driver driving in a Volkswagen Beetle on a narrow canyon road crossed over the center divider and crashed into an SUV carrying 32-year-old Harris.

T.Swift's boyfriend suffered a cut on his nose and was released shortly after being transported to a local hospital.

"Adam was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck in a serious collision last night in Los Angeles," a rep for the DJ, whose real name is Adam Wiles, said in a statement to E! News. "He was examined by doctors and sustained a number of injuries. He has since been checked out of hospital and is now recovering. We wish all the other passengers involved in the incident a fast recovery."

His rep added, "As a result he was not able to perform in Las Vegas at his OMNIA [nightclub] residency and will be unable to perform tonight at Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama."

As of now, he is still scheduled to perform at OMNIA nightclub this Friday in Las Vegas.
