Nev Schulman: "I was alone at the accident. Me and the truck"
Schulman was on his bike to pick up his son from school when he collided with a truck on the way there. In an Instagram post, he wrote about the accident: "In a way, I'm actually glad I didn't get there. I was alone in the accident. Me and the truck. And then, I guess, the sidewalk."
The presenter fell so hard onto the sidewalk that he broke two vertebrae in his neck. As he writes, he is not paralyzed. Initially, his hands were a "question mark", but the human body is simply "incredible".
He can now walk again and stands upright. He already showed in his first post that he is recovering well. When his daughter Cleo James and two sons, Beau Bobby Bruce and Cy Monroe, came to visit him in hospital, they cautiously asked if they could hug their dad. Schulman puts his arms around them with relief.
At the time of the accident, the "Catfish" star was wearing a helmet, which fortunately protected his head from injury, Schulman told TMZ.
Fans send wishes for recovery
Schulman has received countless get-well wishes from his fans on Instagram. They are relieved that the MTV host is feeling better again. "Keep fighting!" and "Here's to a speedy recovery!", they wrote in the comments column.
One user shares: "Nev, I'm so glad you're doing well and from experience I can tell you that the road to recovery isn't easy, so take it one day at a time and at your pace, but never give up."
