Nelly T Car Accident: What happened to ‘The Challenge’ Star Nelson Thomas in fiery car crash on March 5?
After being involved in a horrific vehicle accident earlier this month, Nelson Thomas says he’s grateful to be alive. The star of The Challenge claims he only survived because to the acts of NFL player K.J. Osborn and three other people, who pulled Nelson out of his flaming car on March 5.
“I was involved in a car accident. I want to thank kJ: @kj_osborn_ @nfl @vikings for being on the scene and filming my rescue. I am forever grateful to Abdulmejied Hairedin: @_abdu6435, Rita: @Afri_qveen, and Arthur: @Arthur_1er. For pulling me out of a burning vehicle, risking their own lives to save mine,” Nelson wrote.
Nelson thanked K.J. and his buddies for saving his life on Instagram on Tuesday. He also shared pictures of some of the horrifying wounds he received in the Austin, Texas, incident. (Last week, news of K.J. and his buddies saving a guy from a flaming automobile broke; however, Nelson’s identity wasn’t made public until Tuesday.)
