A neuroscientist turned OnlyFans model suffered a near-fatal motorcycle crash caused by a bird — leaving her to confront life with memory loss.

Mercedes Valentine’s obsession with biking began with fond memories of riding around with her dad as a little girl before buying on one her own — but her dream quickly turned into a nightmare.

While out for a ride, the 25-year-old stunner hit a pigeon head on, suffering a near-fatal crash. Valentine broke her nose, skull, shoulder and four ribs. She also suffered a smashed eye socket and shattered pelvis.

“When I open my eyes, I sometimes don’t even recognize myself,” she told NeedToKnow. “Because I function differently and can’t remember most things, it’s like my brain is someone else’s.”

She continued, “It’s been really confusing and emotionally challenging to come to terms with. I’ve had to start living, and adapting to doing so, as a different person.”

Before the incident occurred in the summer of 2024, Valentine was at the top of her career, having just bought a house for over $900,000 and a blue Porsche Taycan Turbo for over $100,000.
