Popular 'Love Island' Star Injured in Rodeo Accident

An alum of the latest season of "Love Island USA" spent some time in a hospital over the weekend after a frightening rodeo accident.

Taylor Williams, who made it to the final week of the popular reality TV show before being sent home, was competing at the Arizona Invitational Black Rodeo in Scottsdale Friday night when disaster struck. Williams was thrown from his horse when the animal bumped into another horse during the competition.

It appeared that Williams was briefly trapped underneath the animal and may have gotten trampled, based on video of the incident circulating online.

Thankfully, after laying motionless on the ground for several moments and being tended to by medical personnel, Williams was able to make his way out of the ring.

An update from the hospital

On Saturday, Williams assuaged fans' fears, posting a picture of himself on a gurney at the hospital with a neck brace on while also indicating he was planning on making a scheduled appearance at a nightclub that evening.

“Was in a horse accident last night but I’m still pulling up tonight injured and all! It’s my brother’s bday [you know] we still turnt!” he wrote, adding, “Preciate all the love! I’m all good.

Williams also indicated he "still walked out" in another post.

Williams' 'Love Island' relationship still going strong

Williams ended his run on "Love Island" coupled up with Clarke Carraway. The two were voted off in the second-to-last episode of the season, but have not let that setback kill their budding relationship.

Williams and Carraway made a public appearance Thursday, the day before his accident, and Williams told Variety last month that the pair was working on transitioning their relationship outside the villa.

"We started talking about the real world," Williams explained. "I want her to come to Oklahoma, and I’ll go see her in Charlotte. We’ve had conversations about seeing each other outside the villa and making our relationship work."
