Nina Dobrev has a “long road to recovery ahead” after bicycle accident
Nina Dobrev said she is facing a “long road to recovery” after sharing photos on social media showing she was in a bicycle accident.
On Monday, the “Vampire Diaries” star posted a photo on Instagram showing herself perched on a bike, followed by another photo of her in the hospital with an IV in her arm and equipment in her neck and leg.
“How it all started vs. how it’s going,” Dobrev captioned the photos.
Several people commented on the photos, including Dobrev’s boyfriend, Olympian Shaun White, and actress Sarah Michelle Gellar.
“Just staying on brand,” White said.
“Still managing to look beautiful in a hospital bed,” Gellar wrote.
Dancer and actress Julianne Hough also left a comment.
“That’s my girl!” Hough said. “Obviously I wouldn’t make jokes if you weren’t okay…”
Dobrev shared more details about the accident on her Instagram Story on Monday, writing that she is “OK but it will be a long road to recovery ahead.”
“I think it’s safe to say that my first time on a dirt bike will also be my last, haha,” the actor joked.

It’s unclear whether the dirt bike incident had anything to do with a bucket list White told Us Weekly recently.
Last week, the Olympian shared with the outlet that he and Dobrev are going over a list of things he wants to do now that he’s officially retired.
“It’s been so much fun spending time together. Normally I’m competing and she’s filming a project or something…but now we have some time together,” he said.
“We went to Antarctica, Dubai, we visited her mother in France, we went to Monaco, we went to Indonesia,” he added. “We’re kind of done.”
