MANILA, Philippines - Pinoy Big Brother Season 4 grand winner Slater Young was injured in a minor car accident Monday morning.
An ABS-CBN report said Young was driving home to their house in Cebu when he accidentally drove his car into a cul-de-sac.
"Akala ko nasa main road pa ako ng subdivision mabilis yung takbo ko. Pag-right turn ko akala ko yun yung daanan yun pala may cul-de-sac (dead end) na siya. Ayun pag-break ko, tumama ako sa gate."
Young said he stepped his foot on the brake to prevent a full-on crash. He also said the road was not well-lit and that he was sleepy while driving.
"Ang nagyaring lang my foot was on the break, na yung nakita ko siya (dead end), nag-break ako ng sobrang lakas para siyang may whiplash at nagbend yung foot ko," he said.
In his Twitter account, Young said that his x-ray results showed that he twisted his foot but there are no ligaments torn or fractures.
"Had a minor accident sa car.. Twisted my foot. Galing ako sa xray.. Thank God bruised lang! :) have to use crutches for a few days though."
He said that he is now resting at home and extended his appreciation to all his fans who expressed love and concern for him.
"Thanks for the well wishes guys! Im home na. Sinamahan ako ng mom nd dad ko kanina sa hospital. Sweet nila. :) @original_slater @YoungSalome."
Young's doctor advised him to use crutches for 2 to 3 days.
