Nelson the challenge

MTV’s “The Challenge” Star Nelson Thomas is currently recovering from a bad car accident and more details about the accident are starting to come out!

Nelson Thomas was officially charged with DWI for his near-fatal car crash from earlier this year. Per TMZ.

He was given a misdemeanor charge at the end of September in Texas, according to docs obtained by TMZ.

Minnesota Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn and a few others helped pull Thomas out of the fiery vehicle back in March while driving by in an Uber, likely saving his life. Thomas later thanked K.J. for the heroic assist.

We hope Nelson gets the help he needs.
