Comedian Lil' Duval is known for his quick-witted jokes and mixing music with humor in his hit "Living My Best Life" with Snoop Dogg. But the funnyman isn't in a laughing mood after sharing that he was in a serious car accident where a car hit his 4-wheeler while vacationing in the Bahamas.
The 45-year-old, whose real name is Roland Powell, Duval, who's a regular on MTV's 'Guy Code' and VH1's 'Hip Hop Squares', posted a video to IG, showing himself covered in bandages and strapped to a gurney as he's wheeled out of an ambulance onto an airstrip.
He also posted a video showing him being wheeled out of an ambulance on a stretcher with his head, parts of his arms, and torso bandaged up before being airlifted to a hospital located in the country's capital.
"Somebody hit me in the car while I was on my 4-wheeler," wrote Duval. "Now my leg broke and I gotta get flown over to Nassau and have surgery."
In a second Instagram post – a screenshot of his aforementioned tweet – the Scary Movie V actor revealed he actually suffered a broken hip in the accident, not a broken leg.
"And that's even worse 😫 but I'm still chillin' tho can't nothing steal my joy," he added.
In a separate update posted to Twitter Wednesday evening, Duval wrote, "I ain't got no internal bleeding the doctor said that amazing being that I got hit by a car going full speed."

How long to expect pain after a car accident
How long will Duval be in pain after the accident and get back to what he does best? How you experience pain and other symptoms depend on a number of factors, including:
- The speed of the crash
- The size of your vehicle and the other vehicle
- Your position in the vehicle
- Whether or not you were wearing a seatbelt
- Whether or not your airbags went off
- Any pre-existing injuries
How long does it take to recover from a car accident?
Auto accident recovery time depends on the severity of your injuries and the accident. It can take days, weeks, months or even years to completely heal. You can improve your recovery time by doing the following:
- Seek medical attention immediately
- Follow your doctor’s advice, including all long-term treatments like physical therapy
- Get plenty of sleep and try to reduce stress
If you live an active lifestyle, not being able to exercise or play sports is not something you want to experience. However, you will need to avoid strenuous physical activity for a few weeks after your car accident.
Playing sports or performing demanding exercise routines shortly after a car accident can make your injuries much worse. Some people think that just because they aren’t in excruciating pain that they can push their limits after a car accident.
Doing this will usually lead to a person’s injuries getting much worse. While waiting to play sports or exercise may be difficult for you, it is the best thing for your body.
We will continue to pray for Duval's full recovery. For updates on his condition, stay tuned into BlackDoctor.org
