AceShowbiz - Malia White seemed to have learned a lesson or two after one scary scooter accident. When offering details about the "mean" incident, the "Below Deck Mediterranian" star stressed the importance of safe driving in a new social media post.
The 30-year-old took to her Instagram page on Wednesday, June 30 to dish on her scooter crash in Mallorca, Spain. Along with photos from her hospital bed, she penned a lengthy note that read, "On Instagram we usually share the pretty stuff but this is the important stuff. I'm sharing this to express the importance of always wearing a helmet. Mine quite literally saved my life."
"I spent the premiere night in a hospital bed after having a mean accident on my scooter," Malia wrote as referring to the season 6 debut of "Below Deck Mediterranian" on Monday, June 28. "I've been riding scooters my whole life, was familiar with the equipment, wasn't drinking and was 10 minutes from my boat, accidents happen when you least expect them."
On her condition post-crash, Malia shared, "Luckily, I was able to walk away with a few stitches, fractured elbow, broken toes, severe road rash and a very sore body. I don't want to imagine what the case would have been without my helmet!" Though so, the Bravo star insisted, "I won't hang up my scooter keys just yet… but I'm definitely aware of the importance of cruising safely! #scooteraccident #ridesafe #alwayswearahelmet #bruisedup #lucky."
In the first photo of her post, Malia could be seen giving the camera a thumb up and a small smile despite her injured arm and stitched-up face. In the second snap, the reality TV star offered a look at her bandaged legs and arm.
Prior to this hospital post, Malia offered a glimpse at the "before photo" of her adventure in Spain. The TV personality happily posed on her scooter, spent time with her crewmates, and took in the stunning scenery. She captioned the post, "Had an amazing day exploring the island of Mallorca with my crew mates by scooter!" She added, "But it didn't end as nicely as it started..."
Malia also turned to her Instagram Story to thank her helpful crew members. "Thankful for my crew members who were there that night," she wrote alongside a group photo. "They flagged down a car who happened to be an off-duty police officer and he started giving me medical attention until the ambulance arrived. They also took care of getting all my stuff & scooter sorted."
