Rajek, 27, addressed her fans in Instagram Stories on Monday.
“I went to Gelato La Romana, (my fave Italian ice cream) for my usual crepe and ice cream,” she wrote.
“After I finished, I opened the city Lime e-scooter and hopped on, crossed the road through city tram rails and after that I just remember a white pedestrian crosswalk and my face kissing the street asphalt.
“I flew 4m (13ft) and I maintained in a lying position for four to five minutes, traumatized and shook.
“I was totally in shock, friends talking to me if I react and if I can move, but the only thing that I was looking for were my 2 busted teeth.”
Rajek said she was rushed to ER because she was bleeding from her teeth, knees, and hands in addition to severe pain in her back and neck.
The Brady superfan added she had a severe concussion but luckily, several tests and scans revealed that “only her front teeth took the damage.”
Veronika said she was going to have another check-up the following day – as well as a dentist visit.

“I believe that all the bruises will heal fast, I will fix my smile and my life goes back on track asap,” Rajek wrote.
The social media star also found out why she ended up falling to the ground.
Veronika said that she returned to the place of the accident with her friends and realized that there was a painted sewer drain on the crosswalk where her scooter slipped.
“As I was crossing the rails, the grease from the tram fork with a combination of slippery white painted steel drain caused the scooter [to] just slip underneath me and dragged me down with its weight to the ground.”
Rajek thanked the doctors who took care of her as well as all the fans who sent supportive messages.
“I’m blessed that I’ve so many caring and amazing friends around me,” she wrote. “Staying strong and positive.
“That’s life, sometimes we are up and sometimes we go down, but the most important [thing] to understand is to stand up.”
And Veronika added: “I’m happy I’m alive,” wrapping up the post with a black heart emoji.
Rajek became famous after revealing herself to be a huge Brady fan toward the end of last year.
She has over 5.1million followers on Instagram.
