Robin Roberts, known for his appearance on Discovery show Street Outlaws, has shared an update with his fans after a serious crash at Rockingham Dragway. He has now shared an update on how he is doing after the accident.
On Saturday, October 15th, Robin crashed during a race against Justin Swanstrom at the racing ground in Rockingham, North Carolina, when his car collided into a wall shortly after he left the start line.
He is now expected to make a full recovery and revealed on Sunday (October 16th) that he woke up in the hospital, but had no memory of the accident until he was informed about what happened. So, how is Robin doing now?
Robin was involved in serious crash
Robin had to be airlifted from the race track while competing against Justin on Saturday, October 15th. He was unconscious for over ten minutes following the accident, during which he injured three ribs and a collapsed lung.
He was also concussed after the crash, which involved his car – which has been seriously damaged as a result – colliding with a wall just seconds after taking off for the race at the Rockingham Dragway ground.
The Street Outlaws star was then taken to the hospital while the vehicle was covered up by people working there. Following the incident, an update was shared on Robin’s Instagram which reads:
Thank you everyone for the support and prayers! In time, Robin is going to make a full recovery. Shout out to RJ Race Cars for ensuring driver safety in every detail of the car, as well as Pilgrim media & the track safety response team for handling a bad situation so well.
