Former WWE professional wrestler Gregory Shane Helms has been charged with a DWI for his role in a serious North Carolina motorcycle accident. The accident occurred on May 5th, 2011, but Helms was not formally charged or photographed until recently.
The accident took place in the late evening hours as Helms and his girlfriend were riding home from dinner. Helms, driving at the time of crash, ran a stop sign, lost control of his bike and slammed into a chain link fence.
Both Helms and his girlfriend suffered serious injuries. The passenger suffered from a neck injury and Helms shattered his foot, broke both his jaw and nose and received lacerations that required over 200 stitches. Writing for his blog, Helms discussed the extent of his injuries.
"My left foot, which I nearly lost (along with my life) in a motorcycle accident on May 5th of this year, and all 4 plates and 23 screws that now reside within it, is alive and on FIRE at the moment," wrote Helms.
At least one witness said that Helms had been drinking shortly before leaving the restaurant on his motorcycle. Helms has been charged with DWI in connection with the accident. According to reports, he had not been charged earlier because he was under doctors orders to not put any weight on his injured leg or to leave the house.
At the time of this report a court date had not been set.
