“So we stupidly decided to take scooters at night on Rome’s uneven streets.
“Not long after we started, I hit a pothole badly, lost my balance, and found myself face-down on the ground.”
Her friends called an ambulance and she was taken to a hospital, where she spent the whole night getting various check-ups.
Isabel’s selfies show her with plasters on the bridge of her nose and on her chin.
She also has nasty scrapes on her cheek, lips, and forehead.
The 19-year-old told her fans: “Fortunately, just a few stitches on my arm and chin, nothing broken, just a few bruises.”
Isabel boasts 288,900 followers on TikTok and 101,000 on Instagram, where she shares snaps from her travels around Italy and the world.
She warned her fans to take extra care when riding e-scooters, as reported by Need To Know.
The influencer said: “Right after me, two other guys who had fallen off scooters arrived at the hospital in critical condition.
“You really have to be careful when using these scooters.”
