Hayes Grier, the internet star who appeared on “Dancing With The Stars” last year, was involved in a car crash on Thursday, his brother, Nash Grier, tweeted on Thursday afternoon.
On Thursday, Nash tweeted:
#PrayForHayes Just got a call on set that said Hayes was in a crash. He’s now in the hospital
Nash, who is currently living in Los Angeles, said he was “on set” when he received the call.
Nash then tweeted that his brother “can move and talk,” and he’s praying for a quick recovery.
He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know. Praying he has a quick recovery
Untitled Entertainment, the firm that represents Hayes, declined comment on Thursday. A representative said a statement will likely be issued Thursday evening.
Shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday, Nash tweeted a screen shot of a message saying:
Your brother is pretty busted up right now. Luckily no major stuff. All scans came back negative for any internal bleeding. He does have a concussion, fractured top two ribs and bruised lung on one side. He is in a lot of pain.
Hayes, 16, has over 14 million followers across Facebook, Vine and Instagram. He will be featured in the upcoming web comedy “Top Grier,” where he will attempt to run his family’s 19-acre farm in North Carolina.
The 12-episode, half-hour series is being filmed in Mooresville and will be shown on Go90.
