Catfish star Nev Schulman has broken his neck in a terrifying accident in which his motorcycle collided with a truck.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The 39-year-old revealed that the crash took place on Monday when he was traveling to pick up his son Cy, two, from school.
He was rushed to the ICU after snapping two nerves that control his muscles – an injury that in some cases leaves the patient permanently unable to walk.
WHAT IS HIS SITUATION NOW?
However Schulman assured his fans that he is ‘not paralyzed’ and is ‘projected to make a full recovery,’ in an Instagram post on Saturday.
Schulman posted several videos of himself wearing a neck brace in the hospital, including one of him rising slowly from his bed with the help of two staffers.
The accident occurred on Monday, and in the six days since, he has regained the ability to walk down the hospital hallway by himself.
His album contained a grisly close-up of the gash along the back of his neck, as well as X-rays indicating the extent of first the internal damage and then his recovery.
Schulman also included heartwarming pictures and video of his family rallying around him and comforting him in the hospital.
In one photo, his wife Laura Perlongo could be seen cuddling up next to him in his bed, the two of them pulling brave smiles for the camera.

A brief clip showed their three children Cleo, seven, Beau, five, and Cy, two, paying him a visit and wrapping him in a group hug.
‘I went fishing with my family on Sunday. It was incredible, my son’s idea. One of those days that just work,’ he recalled. ‘It was magical. A day full of love and wonder in the way only calm days in nature with family can be.’
He added: ‘Monday was not a day like that. Monday was a day where I learned what “before the accident” really means. And Monday gave weight to just how lucky I was to have Sunday. It’s true what they say – life can change in an instant.’
