According to the YouTuber, his back was \u201cpartially broken,\u201d with one of his vertebrae getting \u201cfully crushed\u201d as a result of the rollover crash.

Star also confirmed that he had not been speeding at the time of the crash, contrary to many other online allegations, and that his car had simply hit a patch of black ice and slid out of control. Luckily, both Star and Daniel are safe and in good health \u2014 although Star\u2019s internal wounds will take \u201cmonths\u201d to fully heal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
