Boston Marathon bombing amputee Adrianne Haslet hit by car: 'I'm completely broken'

A professional dancer who lost part of a leg in the Boston Marathon bombings but returned to dancing and running was recovering in a hospital Monday after being hit by a car.

Adrianne Haslet, now a global advocate for amputee rights, posted an Instagram photo of herself Sunday wearing a neck brace in a hospital bed.

"Struck by a car on Commonwealth Avenue, while on a crosswalk," she wrote. "Thrown into the air and landed, crushing the left side of my body. Yesterday. I’m completely broken. More surgery to come."

The driver was cited for failing to yield the right of way at the crosswalk.
