Yahoo News Roxanne Pallett got trolled following her car crash
Roxanne Pallett has opened up about the shocking reason she got trolled following her crash.
The former Emmerdale actress explained that she has received some nasty remarks on social media after being involved in an accident where she crashed into a concrete wall while taking part in a stock car race.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she said: "I've had some really negative comments on social media that's been really upsetting from the stock car racing community almost lacking compassion.
"They were almost disappointed that I'd been airlifted and only come out of it with some internal bruising and sprained wrist. I've got to also point out that sometimes injuries can be invisible.
"My head doesn't feel right, I can barely stretch, my ribs and back are so sore.
"There's people everyday walking around with injuries and disabilities that are invisible to the eye and people need to remember that."
Roxanne also discussed her recovery, admitting: "It's just a bit of a blur still, to be honest. I'm so dosed up on painkillers, I'm almost grateful to feel this numb. I'm really lucky, I've been lucky."
Recounting the accident, she said: "It was like time stood still. I remember waking up and just hearing my own breath. I was so out of breath. I could feel my heart racing, I could hear voices. I must have had my eyes closed – they said I'd lost consciousness for about 30 seconds.
"The minute I woke up, I knew it wasn't good. I think that's why they airlifted me because I couldn't feel my legs and my neck and my head. I've never felt pain like it. I'm so lucky."
