Nina Dobrev is recovering in the hospital after suffering a neck and knee sprain in an apparent bicycle accident.

The Vampire Diaries star announced the news to her 26 million followers on Instagram, sharing a picture of herself posing on what appeared to be an electric bike, while another showed the actress lying in a hospital bed.

“How it started and how it’s going,” the 35-year-old captioned the post, adding an injured emoji.

Dobrev also shared a selfie of herself in the hospital on her Instagram Story before giving fans a health update.

“I’m fine, but there’s going to be a long road to recovery ahead of us,” she said.

Famous faces who commented on the post included The Vampire Diaries co-star Claire Holt, who said: “No, sorry! Feel better,” he added heart emojis.

Actresses Julianne Hough and Sophia Bush also commented on the post, as did their Olympic snowboarder boyfriend Shaun White, who said: “It just stays on brand.”

The couple first sparked dating rumors in March 2020 when they were photographed riding bikes together in Malibu, California, and later made their romance Instagram official.
