Most people have heard of the recent motorcycle accident that sidelined one of Hollywood’s most popular and beloved leading men, Robert Pattinson. The actor was biking on a dangerous road in Sydney, Australia, when his bike collided with a truck. The impact was so great that the back wheel came off entirely, leaving him with multiple injuries. Fortunately, paramedics were able to treat the actor, who was then taken to the hospital. As he recovered from his injuries, fans and celebrities alike were hoping that this would be a turning point for the 28-year-old, who has been plagued by bad luck in terms of serious accidents and injuries. Fortunately, this seems to be a turning point for the talented actor, and he has since tweeted that he is ‘on the mend’.
While it is great to see that Robert has finally decided to get back on his feet, it is imperative to remember the true nature of his injuries. According to multiple reports, the young Hollywood star has suffered severe head trauma as a result of the accident, and his health could be permanently compromised. It is essential that we keep our fingers crossed for Robert as he continues to recover, and it would not be surprising if his acting skills were temporarily diminished as a result of the accident. After all, head injuries are often accompanied by memory loss and an inability to concentrate – as we have seen with numerous other notable sports personalities who have suffered similar traumas.
Riding On The Wrong Side Of The Road
The crash occurred on Thursday night, June 7, when Robert was driving on the wrong side of the road in Sydney, according to eyewitnesses. He was reportedly driving ‘pretty fast’ in the northbound lane, on the outskirts of the city. As he turned into a driveway, he hit the curb with his front tire and went over it, hitting a parked car and sliding into another. He then drove into a tree, finally coming to a stop. Luckily, no other cars or drivers were injured. According to reports, the driveway was poorly lit, which may have also played a role in the accident. Witnesses said that the bike’s headlight was not functioning and that it was difficult to see where he was going in the dark.
It is unclear exactly what caused the accident, and why Robert was driving on the wrong side of the road. Australian traffic laws state that when you are turning into a driveway, you must drive in the same direction that you are facing. The law also requires you to use your indicators and look both ways before crossing the road.
Most people are aware that Australia has one of the worst road trauma stats in the world. In 2017, 7.8 people were killed and 18,000 were injured on Australian roads. These are grim figures, and indicate that bad driving is a major contributing factor. While it is great that there were no fatalities or injuries to the onlookers, the accident reveals how dangerous it can be to drive in Australia even when you are aware of the risks. The fact that Robert was driving on the wrong side of the road and did not use his indicators shows that he was either distracted or in a rush, which could have been the case if he were traveling to meet someone or pick up a girls’ night out. Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for the young Hollywood star, and he will take extra care driving to and from work in the future.
The Final Season Of ‘Good Behaviour’
The season premiere of HBO’s fantastic drama, ‘Good Behavior’ was last night, and the series ended on a massive cliffhanger. While the last season was definitely not ‘good’, it was still great to see the characters get one last hurrah. As the final season began, we were reminded of how far Rob Pattinson’s character, Will, had come. He had nearly achieved his goal of starting a new life in Paris, had gotten engaged to his longtime love, Maureen, and was preparing to finally commit to and propose to Maureen. It was the perfect story arc for the reserved museum guard, and it ended on such a heartfelt and romantic note.
However, the road to Paris and the proposal was not to be. Just as Will was about to propose, he was brutally attacked by a street gang, who beat him nearly to death. The scene was incredibly tense, as the gang seemed to enjoy inflicting pain on Will. They stole his wallet and dumped his body in a Parisian sewer. It was a shocking and brutal ending to the perfect love story arc.
Before the attack, Will was clearly in pain. He had been shot in the neck and back, and had taken many blows to the head. The injury to his neck had also rendered him progressively weaker, which made him more vulnerable to the assault. It was a painful and difficult situation for the actor to endure, and it is clear that his acting skills have not been diminished by the experience. In fact, the opposite seems to be true. Will’s injuries served as a reminder of the horrible conditions that he and many others who live with disabilities face on a daily basis. In the final season, we are reminded of the importance of having empathy, and the lack of it that leads to such tragedies.
Multiple Injuries
It is no secret that Robert is a very private person and does not do interviews. Despite this, we still know a lot about him thanks to his publicists and other celebrities. It is often said that he has been in several freak accidents, and the truth is that he has been in quite a bit of trouble. In 2005, he was nearly killed in a car accident in LA that was caused by his reckless driving. Four friends with whom he was drinking were also injured in the accident. In 2010, he was biking down an open road in Paris when he was hit by a car, causing him to fall off his bike and break his arm. In 2017, he had what could have been a seriously traumatic experience when a car swerved across the road and nearly hit him. Thankfully, he was not hurt, but the fact that it was so close and could have been so much worse shows the world how skilled and careful he needs to be at all times. It is sad that he has had to learn the hard way, but he has finally decided to be responsible and cautious. Hopefully, this is the end of his harrowing incidents, but we will never truly be sure, as he will always keep us guessing.
