Personal life

Mulvey was injured in a serious car accident in 2003,^[15] in a head-on collision at 100 km/h (62 mph). He was trapped in the vehicle for almost an hour until he could be freed from the wreckage.

His left knee and ankle were also badly fractured. Mulvey also permanently lost his vision in his left eye.
