Former WWE star Joseph Conners, popular for his run with the now-defunct NXT UK brand, recently survived serious car accident that could have had tragic consequences. There have been rumors circulating about his death but Conners has publicly addressed and refuted these claims, confirming that he is alive and well.
Last month, Joseph Conners dropped a powerful message about the life-saving importance of seat belts. He reflected on the car accident he was involved in, Conners stated 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 urged everyone to prioritize safety for themselves and their passengers.
In his post, Conners clarified that he was not seeking sympathy but wanted to address the concerns that arose after a member of the public, who recognized him as a wrestler, shared details of the incident on social media.
Conners explained that he and three friends were returning from an event when their vehicle was struck by another driver, who is suspected of being under the influence and then fled the scene. The group is currently following paramedics’ advice and receiving assessment and treatment for any injuries at the hospital.
”SEATBELTS SAVE LIFES
Truly looking back at what happened last night, I really thought that was it. The fact all 4 of us, had our seat belts on and the airbags were deployed saved our lifes.
Don’t underestimate the important of yours and your passengers safety.
Below message I put on my personal Fbook
Not looking for sympathy or messages. But a member of the public who was at the scene, knew I was a wrestler and posted about the below on their Instagram.
Lot of people are messaging me, and just want to put a public message out.
Me and 3 other friends, were travelling back from an event last night.
When a driver (who we assume was under the influence) hit our vehicle and drove off, leaving the scene.
We are following paramedics advice and are currently at A&E, and going to hopefully recieve advice and treatment for any injuries sustained.
This post is not to create hysteria, just as a place where you’ve read it from me directly.”
Despite Joseph Conners’ clear tweets confirming that he survived the accident, there were still rumors circulating that the NXT UK alum had passed away. In subsequent tweets, Conners addressed these rumors directly, making it clear that he is very alive and shooting down all the claims that he didn’t survive the car crash.
”So much about this video headline is factually inaccurate But just to clarify I’m not dead
Couple more I don’t know, at least life has a sense of humour. Joe Hendry is on GAB, Robbie X is in Mexico, Will Kroos is Will Kroos & my headline is that I’m dead Still not dead ”
So much about this video headline is factually inaccurate
