Chipmunk in serious quad bike accident: 'I'm just merciful to be alive'

Hitmaker Chipmunk is now wheelchair bound after crashing a quad bike at full speed during a recent vacation in Crete. 

The 'Champion' star shared a series of shocking images via his official Instagram page that showed the extend of the injuries he sustained (pictured below) and admitted that he's incredibly lucky to be alive. He explained:

"Today I was meant to fly to L.A. to put my finishing touches at last on records to be properly released like iTunes and that... It's been a good 3 years since I've had an official release. So you could imagine how gutted I am. Same speed, I'm just merciful to be alive. I know people that have died from bike crashes... They been speaking to me the past couple days. Quad bike crash full speed on a 400cc that looked like a scene out of 'Final Destination' meets 'Fast & Furious'. Came out with 12 stitches to the head... Grazes all over my body... And no use of my right leg. But can move my toes a lil'."

He went onto add that his experience of being treated in a hospital in Malia was awful and he was also told by the physician that he isn't well enough to travel to California so is taking it as a sign that maybe now isn't the time:

"My experience in hospital in Malia was HELL but I wasn't tryna stay there man. So I forced my way back in a wheel chair and that. Got a note that said I was fit to fly some bandooloo way tbh. All I was thinking is I gotta make this LA trip finish these records the year is flying. But I came back and spoke to my family and Dr... He said as much as I'm driven and wanna do this the air pressure could burst my stitching open so yeah I'm seckled. Was fully on recording still wheel chair or what ever but i guess it weren't my time to die but it's defo a sign maybe I'm not meant to go L.A. just yet."
