Australian TV star and radio presenter Ben Dobbin suffered a serious bike accident while training for the Noosa Triathlon. The 48-year-old swerved to avoid a snake, causing him to crash into a steel pole. He sustained a fractured C5 vertebrae requiring surgery and faces the possibility of paralysis.
A TV star has been rushed to hospital with a broken neck and spinal injuries after he suffered a nightmare bike accident.
The 48-year-old spoke to the publication from his hospital bed in Brisbane's Wesley Hospital and said the accident happened while he was training for a triathlon. He said that he was cycling with coach Cam Hughes when he swerved to avoid a black snake that was in the road, reports the Mirror. Medics warned him after the delicate operation that he 'might never walk again' and because the surgery was through his throat, there was a chance that he might lose his voice as well.
