What happened to Moonshiners star Josh Owens?
Josh Owens had a very serious motorcycle accident at the start of March while the Moonshiners star was taking part in a race at Florida’s Daytona International Speedway.
Taking to his Instagram to explain his injuries, Moonshiners Josh Owens said: “I got broken all to pieces in a bad motorcycle wreck. I broke my neck, I broke my back, both my legs broke my arm.”
“But I want you to know I’m tough as a pine nut and I’m still here, and I’ll be here until God brings me home,” the star continued.
He then went on to thank fans for their support.
The first video Moonshiners star Josh Owens posted from the hospital was on March 27, three weeks after the accident took place. After rumors of his injuries picked up online and on social media, his co-star Tim Smith took to social media to thank fans for their support.
He then said that both of the star’s arms were “working fine” but revealed that he had a long way to go in his recovery.
