Comedian Lil Duval is in good spirits despite being in a car accident Tuesday.
The 45-year-old was hospitalized after being struck by a car while driving his all-terrain vehicle in the Bahamas. The Florida-born comic took to Instagram Tuesday to post a video of himself strapped to a gurney as he’s loaded onto an ambulance with gauze bandages on his forehead and body.
“Somebody hit me in they car while i was on my 4 wheeler,” Duval captioned the post.
As a result of the accident, Duval broke his hip and he needed to be flown to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, to have surgery, he wrote in the post.
“I’m still chillin tho can’t nothing steal my joy,” he wrote in another Instagram post on Wednesday.
