2021 CrossFit Games winner Justin Medeiros was unfortunately in a bad motorbike accident recently. He posted the following on his insta:
“I bought myself a little Honda monkey motorcycle after winning the games in 2021. I haven’t ridden it much the last few years so I have been trying to sell it with no takers. I needed a haircut so decided to take it for a quick spin. On the way, someone made an illegal sudden U turn right in front of me. I don’t remember the impact but I remember hitting the breaks and thinking to myself I did not have enough distance to stop.
The next thing I remember, I was opening my eyes on the pavement. I was in a dream like state and trying to figure out where I was. Luckily there was a nurse who witnessed the accident and was there on scene with me before medics arrived. I was unconscious for quite some time but she kept me still and kept talking to me.
The accident happened at 11:30am and the rest of the day was a bit of a blur. I got a bunch of test done and turns out I got off very lucky. I ended up breaking and dislocating my jaw in multiple places along with lots of teeth. I also have a hematoma in my ear that is keeping me from hearing and a decent concussion. But my brain and neck were fine! No other fractures in my body but it is definitely banged up.
Luckily all this is fixable! I got surgery yesterday, got plates put in my jaw, some of my teeth realigned, and my jaw wired shut. Now I’m on the road to recovery ❤️🩹
Thanks so much to everyone who has reached out ❤️”
We wish him a speedy recovery!
