UPDATE : She's now doing better she's resting at home so I'm guessing she's out of the woods as they say this report was on September 8th that she was fighting for her life.
A Victoria’s Secret supermodel is fighting for her life after she fractured her skull in a freak surfing accident last week off Italy.
Yfke Sturm, who gave birth to her first child just one month ago, fell off a motorized surfboard near the island of Ischia and was struck by another jet-surfer at high speed as she tried to swim to shore, the Mirror reports.
The 33-year-old beauty suffered severe spinal as well as head injuries, the U.K. paper adds.
The London-based Dutch model was airlifted to a Naples hospital, where she remains in a coma. Sturm is reportedly at serious risk of permanent paralysis.
On Aug. 8, she posted on Facebook: “Words can not describe how excited we are for the arrival of our son Alexander!!” Sturm has worked for designers such as Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Chanel and appeared in Victoria’s Secret runway shows. She has also hosted “Holland’s Next Top Model.”
Sturm’s modeling career took off in 1997, when she won an international modeling contest at 15 years old.
