Sale Sharks and former England out-half, Danny Cipriani, was hit by a bus while out on the town with teammates in Leeds last night.
He's pictured below receiving treatment shortly afterwards.

Thankfully he's OK, which is pretty lucky when you consider how hard he must have been hit to smash the window of the bus like that.
He tweeted earlier to let everyone know how he was doing.
Thank you for all the well wishes, means a lot. My ribs are a bit sore. Feel like I've been hit by a bus...

Out of hospital now. Once again, thank you for the messages

Many of the players were dressed as Wizard of Oz characters on the night out which might explain the person in the red and white striped tights at the scene of the accident and might also explain why Cipriani was pictured with his face painted like a Lion last night.

And of course the bus that hit him now has it's own Twitter account.
