TikTok Star Faces Wheelchair After Moped Crash
Content creator FunBucketKustoms recounts severe leg and pelvic injuries sustained in a head-on collision in Florida.
TikTok personality FunBucketKustoms, 27, has been left in a wheelchair following a serious moped accident on October 10 in Hawthorne, Florida. The content creator, who has approximately 600,000 followers, shared his condition in a video update on the platform.
Kustoms reported multiple fractures to his left leg and pelvis, stating that another driver entered his lane and struck him head-on. "I am totaled and also the moped is totaled. We're both messed up," he said from his wheelchair.
He spent two weeks in the hospital following the crash. "I can't walk, I can't stand, and I can't run away from you because my legs don't work no more," Kustoms explained. "I don't know how I am supposed to work."
The creator detailed the extent of his injuries, saying his left leg was broken in approximately 15 places and his pelvis was also fractured in about 15 places. "I've lost all movement in both of my legs, I can't move any of my pelvis and I pee in a bag," he added, noting he also sustained injuries requiring stitches. "I've got stitches everywhere. I'm just like Frankenstein now."
Kustoms claimed he was "not alive for a couple minutes" during the incident and required medical intervention to survive. "They had to shock me with the thingies and add blood to keep me alive... I'm lucky to be alive right now. And I thank god that I am alive. God gave me a second chance at life."
The internet personality, who does not publicly share his legal name, stated he is now facing significant medical debt. He also claimed that he was discharged from the hospital earlier than anticipated due to a lack of health insurance.
Details regarding the other driver involved in the collision remain unresolved, according to Kustoms. He has launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of raising $28,600 to aid in his recovery.
"This is just going to be day-to-day of me trying to get out of this damn wheelchair and become FunBucket again," Kustoms concluded, also requesting prayers for his recovery.
