Bill Moseley, the renowned actor famous for his roles in 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' franchise, experienced a terrifying real-life incident last week. According to TMZ, Moseley was struck by a cyclist who then fled the scene, leaving the horror icon with significant injuries.
The incident occurred on Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina, where Moseley was scheduled to attend the Carolina Fear Fest. Moseley was enjoying an afternoon walk behind his hotel on a dual pedestrian-bike path when a cyclist, traveling at approximately 30 MPH, collided with him from behind. Shockingly, the cyclist did not stop to help and immediately fled the scene.
Moseley was left in immense pain and required urgent medical assistance. He was transported to a trauma hospital, where multiple CT scans revealed he had sustained four fractured ribs and a fractured pelvis. Despite the severity of his injuries, Moseley managed to keep his spirits high.
He even shared updates on Instagram, posting pictures of himself in a hospital gown and later in a wheelchair. In a nod to his horror film career, he quipped, "And here I thought Jason packed a punch!"
Following his discharge from the hospital, Moseley faces a 6-week rehabilitation period during which he must avoid putting weight on his left leg. The organizers of Carolina Fear Fest have confirmed that Moseley is expected to make a full recovery. They have also assured fans that anyone who purchased a photo op with Moseley will receive an immediate refund.
