“On Thursday night at 7:20pm I was involved in a serious car accident in Devon, UK. I crawled out of the wreck with some cuts and scrapes, a kneecap in the wrong place, bruised ribs and a headache that won’t go away,” said Carter in his statement.
He went on to reveal that his friend Pete ended up worse off, suffering a fractured pelvis, ruptured spleen and multiple broken ribs.
