Two-time Olympian and world cycling champion Caroline Buchanan has suffered serious injuries in a car accident in her native Australia.<\/p>\n
Buchanan, 27, posted an image on Instagram of herself in hospital with a bloodied face and wearing a neck brace.<\/p>\n
She wrote that she had a broken nose and sternum and a collapsed lung.<\/p>\n
Local media reported the accident involved a single vehicle and happened in New South Wales, but further details were not yet clear.<\/p>\n
“I wouldn’t say 2017 ended quite as planned. It’s been a rough couple of days in ICU after a vehicle roll,” Buchanan said in her caption.<\/p>\n
“I just moved to a private room and everything is moving in a positive recovery direction.”<\/p>\n
She wished her followers a happy new year and said “off season just got a little more tough!!”, in a post that has drawn thousands of comments.<\/p>\n
