A newly surfaced video showing Nigerian socialite Sam Larry alive and conscious moments after a horrific car crash on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway has gone viral online, sparking intense discussions across social media platforms. The tragic accident, which occurred recently, claimed the life of his trusted bouncer, Adewale, leaving fans and onlookers in shock.
While initial reports suggested that the controversial socialite was hospitalized in critical condition, the fresh video footage offers a clearer picture of his state immediately following the collision. In the clip, a visibly shaken Sam Larry is seen sitting on the ground near the wreckage while emergency workers and onlookers gather to recover the remains of his deceased bouncer.
Medical Experts Dismiss Extreme Injury Rumors
Prior to the release of this footage, wild speculations dominated social media, with several unverified reports alleging that Sam Larry had sustained severe spinal cord injuries that could lead to the amputation of his legs. These claims gained traction after an X (formerly Twitter) user shared a purported private chat from an associate of the socialite.
However, medical practitioner Dr. Shina has debunked these claims, urging the public to verify information before sharing. He noted that the rumors regarding leg amputation and spinal damage lacked any medical basis or official confirmation from the hospital or Sam Larry’s family. The newly emerged video appears to support the doctor’s call for caution, as the socialite showed no immediate signs of catastrophic physical trauma, though he was clearly traumatized by the event.
Public Reaction and Condolences
As the video continues to trend, social media users have expressed mixed feelings. While many are relieved that the socialite survived the near-death experience, others have focused their attention on mourning Adewale, the bouncer who lost his life in the tragic incident. Investigations into the exact cause of the crash along the coastal highway are reportedly still ongoing.
