UFC star Lerone Murphy has a near-death experience after suffering a car crash
Lerone Murphy experienced yet another near-death experience. After colliding with a car while cycling, he was forced to wait 45 minutes until help arrived on May 18.
The car allegedly drove into him while he was cycling on the street. To make matters worse, he suffered a head injury because of the collision and then had to wait almost an hour for an ambulance.
Lerone 'The Miracle' Murphy took to Instagram to share the awful incident. He wrote in the caption:
"Ffs I can’t catch a break. Another near death experience. Yesterday while cycling, a oncoming car turned right without looking and we collided at speed. Which caused a nasty head wound. The ambulance took 45minutes to arrive which nearly caused me to bleed out. Im here still breathing for a greater purpose clearly."
Below is the UFC star's post:
Back in 2013, the British fighter survived a gunshot to the face in Manchester. He was gunned down outside a barber shop by a lone shooter who approached him and fired three bullets into his face and neck. It was a miracle that he survived then, thus coining the nickname, and now it's a miracle he survived the car collision as well.
Murphy's last bout was in October 2021. With this new injury, it is difficult to guess when he will return to the cage.
