Former WWE star Joseph Conners has been well-known for his time on the NXT UK brand. It has come to light that he recently survived a car accident that could have had a tragic end.
After departing WWE, Conners has been competing on the independent circuit, but this week, he faced a terrifying incident that highlighted the importance of safety measures.
Conners took to Instagram to share a strong message about the life-saving role of seat belts. He reflected on the accident and he emphasized that all four occupants of the vehicle, including himself, were wearing seat belts, and the deployment of airbags played a crucial role in saving their lives. He also urged everyone to prioritize safety for themselves and their passengers.
In his post, Conners had clarified that he wasn’t seeking sympathy. However, he wanted to address concerns that arose after a member of the public who witnessed the incident and recognized him as a wrestler shared the details on social media.
As per Conners, he and three friends were returning from an event when another driver, suspected of being under the influence, collided with their vehicle and then fled the scene. They are currently following the advice of paramedics and are at the hospital for assessment and treatment of any injuries.
