About Peter Giannikopoulos's accident, the 32-year-old shed some light on how his car went off-road through a guard rail and hit a pole. In his latest Instagram post, Peter wrote, "While driving home from the clinic my anxiety started to get the best of me. As a result of the anxiety, I lost consciousness behind the wheel and my car went off-road through a guard rail and hit a pole". Elaborating more about the same, he added, "The airbag deployed, the driver side door was wedged in, broken glass everywhere, and I was 5ft away from smashing into a building. All I remember was waking up to people shouting for help, as I was in a deep daze and confusion. I didn’t know where I was, how I got there, or what happened. Luckily I came out of it with only a small gash on my nose". However, The Bachelorette contestant is keeping positive about recovering soon as he concluded writing, "Although my symptoms are evident, I am going to fight this and win."
