John Whaite Says He Was Run Over and Taken to Hospital, Scans Show He Is OK

Hospital scans show he is OK following a collision he says was softened by his muscle mass.

Overview

  • The Great British Bake Off winner said he rolled onto the car’s bonnet, damaged the windscreen, hit the road, and crawled to the pavement before a bystander stayed with him for an ambulance.
  • He told followers doctors said his 16 stone of muscle likely meant the incident was not fatal.
  • He reported being scanned and examined in hospital and said he is OK.
  • In a follow-up post, he clarified that his use of the word “speeding” was figurative and that he does not know the driver’s actual speed.
  • He shared the account on his fitness Instagram profile @whaitelifter, and current coverage cites his posts with no independent details about the driver, speed, or police involvement.
