Famous actress Nina Dobrev shared a selfie from her hospital bed, informing fans that she had been in an accident.
She posted the news to her Instagram account May 20, alongside a photograph of herself on an electric dirt bike and another that showed her in the hospital hooked up to an IV. She had a brace on her left leg and was lying flat on her back with a cervical collar around her neck. The famous actress didn’t share too many details, but she captioned her pictures with the words, “how it started vs how it’s going 🤕,” which gave them enough information to understand her bike ride didn’t go as planned.
