On Tuesday, YouTube stars Marcus Johns and his wife, Kristin Johns were involved in a "horrible" and "scary" bicycle accident stemming from an alleged hit-and-run that left the two with serious injuries, including broken bones and immense trauma. Detailing their horrifying account on social media, the husband and wife duo took to their respective Instagram profiles to share a message with fans from their hospital beds, sharing how the fact they are still alive is nothing short of a "miracle" and were "thankful to be alive."

Admitting that "nothing is official yet," Johns explained in his post from his hospital bed on Tuesday night that he and his wife of three years believe they were targeted in an intentional hit-and-run. "I look down the road and heard an engine revving all the way up and it seemed like in the moment the guy was trying to hit us on purpose," he captioned in his video. "I said to Kris 'what is this guy doing!?' He was driving erratically and swerving towards us. I tried to swerved out of the way but he just followed us to hit us. I blacked out until I got to the hospital. So after I don't know what really happened. Sadly Kristin was fully conscious and had to watch me unresponsive on the concreate (sic) till ambulance arrived for us."

With Kristin claiming the two flew about "50 feet from impact," the YouTube and Vine star further shared how while he doesn't think people will "believe" him that it was an intentional accident, he was "convinced" the perpetrator was trying to kill the two. "But now it wall (sic) makes sense if the robbery and police pursuit is officially confirmed."

Sharing how the two got to see each other before surgery, Kristin shares in her video that they also endured some serious injuries, including broken legs, with hers "snapped in half. "We both had surgery this morning. I am thankful to have you guys who I know love us & have faith so please just lift us up & praise Jesus for saving us. I am thankful that we are alive," she wrote.

Going on to add how it was all "scary stuff," Johns and his wife add how they are "better now," but encouraged fans to keep them in their prayers. With many flooding the comments section of the couple's respective posts, the two who married in 2017, were sent a lot more than just prayers as hundreds of thousands popped in with well wishes, love and comments from fans and peers.

According to KTLA, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department reported a silver Ford Fusion hitting two bicyclists around 8 p.m. local time, with the network's Sky5 footage showing the two being treated by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel prior to their hospitalization. The driver of the Ford, which allegedly had Texas license plates, fled the scene. KTLA further states authorities lost sight of the car near Universal Studios, about a mile away from the site of the incident.

While the YouTube stars are focused on recovery, they are also updating fans as they hear more from law enforcement authorities. The pair, who married in 2017, are best known for their videos on the network both chronicling various aspects of their lives — with Kristin focusing more on beauty and lifestyle trends; while Johns, a former Vine star, sharing sports and comedy. Combined the pair have a little more than 1 million subscribers on YouTube and over 80 million views.
