Pregnant Chrissy Teigen escapes accident

New York March 28 (IANS) Model Chrissy Teigen who is due to give birth to her second child in June had a close call with a cyclist while walking here.

Teigen was stepping off a sidewalk with what initially appeared to be an overeager fan trying to reach out towards her on Tuesday night reports people.com.

The photograph of the scene had a number of fans -- both concerned and bemused. One fan tweeted the photo at the model and jokingly wrote: "Hey Chrissy Teigen. This looks like you have strapped a very small man to your b**b."

Teigen who is due to welcome a son with husband John Legend in June also quipped: "I had the baby."
