So devastating! Internet star Hayes Grier has been badly injured in a scary car crash, and his brother Nash is the one breaking the sad news to the world. The former ‘Dancing With The Stars’ contestant is receiving prayers from all across his vast social media for a speedy recovery.
Nash Grier, 18, shared the awful news on his Twitter account, writing, “#PrayForHayes. Just got a call on set that said Hayes was in a crash. He’s now in the hospital.” The Vine star quickly wrote a follow-up saying, “He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know. Praying he has a quick recovery.” OMG, this is so terrifying, we hope Hayes will make it out of this okay.
“Damn I hate hearing s**t like that on the phone scared me to death,” he added. He didn’t disclose where the accident took place or where his little bro was hospitalized, but #PrayForHayes quickly rocketed to the top trending topic on Twitter. Fans immediately started sending their well wishes and heartfelt messages for the internet superstar, with everyone hoping to see his uplifting smile again soon.
Hayes, 16, is a major internet sensation just like his brother, with 14 million followers across Facebook, Vine and Instagram. He’ll soon star in his very own web comedy Top Grier, where he’ll run his family’s 19-acre farm in Mooresville, North Carolina. The 12 episodes of the 30 minute show will be featured on the app Go90.
He made his major TV debut on the 21st season of Dancing With The Stars in 2015, where he was the youngest contestant to ever compete on the show. He was partnered with Emma Slater and finished in a respectable eighth place.
