Cheer star Maddy Brum has revealed she was hit by a car going 30MPH while crossing the road this week in a scary accident that landed the teenager in hospital. 

The 19-year-old, who shot to fame while starring in the second season the Netflix reality show that follows Texas-based cheerleading squad Navarro, took to Instagram to share an image of herself recovering in the hospital, while opening up about how ‘blessed’ she feels that she didn’t suffer more severe injuries. 

‘I’m feeling extra blessed today,’ she wrote alongside a photo of herself lying in her bed in the ER. ‘Blessed to be alive and blessed to be surrounded by people who give me nothing but happiness and comfort.

‘Two days ago, Angel, James, Jay and I were crossing the street at a cross walk, where a car turned and drove into me at 20-30 mph. Luckily, I only left with bruises and cuts on my body.’ 

The professional cheerleader continued: ‘Thank you to my people @amazingjamestho @qangel_rice @thejaykendrick for being by my side and making sure I was safe and okay. I have the bestest friends. 

‘Thank you to @cheertourofficial for helping me at the hospital, as well as getting an orthopedic surgeon to make sure I was okay to still do what I love.’

In the images, Brum held up a cup of coffee and a thumbs up to the camera while wearing a face mask in the hospital bed. The next photo saw her getting a check-up from Angel Rice.

Until then, the star’s place is being filled by fellow Navarro cheerleader Deidra Lizette, who Brum also thanked ‘for being a ROCKSTAR and coming in on such short notice while I’m recovering.’
