A dancer who lost part of her leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing is in hospital after being hit by a car.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who is now a public speaker and campaigner, posted about the accident on Instagram.

From her hospital bed, she revealed she had been crossing a Boston road when she was struck on Saturday.

"Thrown into the air and landed, crushing the left side of my body," she said in the post, which revealed she needed surgery.

In her post, Ms. Haslet-Davis described herself as "completely broken".

Further details about her injuries are not immediately clear, but Boston police told local media they were not thought to be life-threatening.
