TikTok star FunBucketKustoms, 27, left in wheelchair after horror moped crash: ‘My legs don’t work anymore’
TikTok star FunBucketKustoms has been left in a wheelchair after surviving a horror moped crash.
The content creator, from Hawthorne, Florida, took to TikTok to give his 600,000 followers an update on his health.
He explained that he had suffered multiple fractures to his left leg and pelvis after another driver entered his lane and struck him head on.
‘I am totaled and also the moped is totaled. We’re both messed up,’ he shared from his wheelchair.
Kustoms, who has built up a loyal following thanks to his car-based content, then spent two weeks in hospital after the accident on October 10.
The 27-year-old began: ‘I can’t walk, I can’t stand, and I can’t run away from you because my legs don’t work no more…
‘I don’t know how I am supposed to work.’
He has since vowed to document his recovery as he hopes to regain his ability to walk.

‘My left leg was completely destroyed. It was broken in like 15 places and my pelvis was all broken in like 15 places.
‘I’m pretty much screwed at this point.
‘To recap, I’ve lost all movement in both of my legs, I can’t move any of my pelvis and I pee in a bag,’ the internet personality added.
‘I’ve got stitches everywhere. I’m just like Frankenstein now.’
Kustoms claimed that during the accident, he was ‘not alive for a couple minutes.’
He added: ‘They had to shock me with the thingies and add blood to keep me alive…
‘I’m lucky to be alive right now. And I thank god that I am alive. God gave me a second chance at life.’
Kustoms, who does not share his legal name online, said he is now in steep medical debt.

He also claimed that he had been discharged from the hospital earlier than he had hoped because he lacked health insurance.
The content creator said that the situation with the other driver remained unresolved and did not provide further details.
He has since set up a GoFundMe in the hopes of raising $28,600 but added: ‘Just pray for me to get better, it’s all I’m asking for.’
Kustoms concluded with a poignant message as he said: ‘This is just going to be day-to-day of me trying to get out of this damn wheelchair and become FunBucket again.’
