Music legend Rod Stewart's son Sean Stewart hospitalised after getting hit by a truck: 'In a lot of pain'

The son of legendary singer Rod Stewart was hospitalised earlier this week after he was hit by a truck in a terrifying accident.

Reality TV star Sean Stewart shared his ordeal on Instagram Stories with a selfie from hospital.

"I got hit by a truck at a red light,"  the 42-year-old captioned a pic of himself wearing a hospital gown, neck brace and face mask. "Hard out here on these streets."

Although Sean did not detail the scary incident, he did say he was still feeling sore in a follow-up post.

"Still in a lot of pain," he wrote alongside another selfie from what appeared to be his bedroom. "Got my best friend by my side. #doggydoctor."

Sean is the eldest of Rod's eight children, who he shares with his first wife, model Alana Stewart. He is best known for his stints on reality TV, starring on the E! reality show Stewarts and Hamiltons in 2015, which followed the blended families of the famed rock star and actor George Hamilton – Alana's first husband.

Most recently, Sean also appeared on the rebooted MTV show The Hills: New Beginnings in 2021 and had a brief relationship with the show's star, Audrina Patridge.

The TV personality is no stranger to the spotlight. In January 2020, he and his musician father Rod pleaded guilty to battery charges after they reportedly got into a scuffle with hotel security in Palm Beach, Florida, on New Year's Day.

"No one was injured in the incident, and a jury did not find Sir Rod Stewart guilty of the accusation," the music icon's attorney said in a statement at the time, as obtained by Page Six.

According to his lawyer, the Sailing singer entered a guilty plea "to avoid the inconvenience and unnecessary burden on the court and the public that a high-profile proceeding would cause". 

The plea helped the pair avoid jail time, fines or probation, and also saved them from having to appear in court. A police report also stated that both Rod and Sean apologised to the parties involved.
