Gab Valenciano sustains injuries after motorcycle accident
Gab Valenciano sustained injuries after getting into a motorcycle accident in California, but assured his followers that he is now on his way to recovery.
In an Instagram post on Monday, May 22, the son of singer Gary Valenciano revealed he "got side-swiped on the freeway by an SUV at around 75 miles per hour," which launched him 70 feet away from the collision.
"I was in full gear but because of the force of the impact and momentum, it burned through my jacket and pants," Gab detailed as he shared blurred pictures of his injuries.
"This is the first accident in my entire life that I did not expect or see coming. Been riding for close to two decades and still, new unexpected experiences to learn from," Gab wrote.
The musician expressed his gratitude to all the drivers and riders who stopped to help him and offer assistance in their own ways. He also commended all firemen, police officers, and emergency personnel who rushed to the scene, highlighting that their professional, efficient, and kind approach made him feel "so safe after a major accident."
"It’s been very tough moving around especially at night considering I have gashes on my lower and upper back, so sleeping has been tough too but all is well. Slowly but surely," he assured his IG followers.
Gab started riding motorbikes in 2009 and developed a love for it since, as seen in his social media posts.
