Dan Walker sent the same message as he gets back on bike after horror crash

Dan Walker was quickly flooded with the same message of advice as he got back on his bike for the first time since being in a serious crash last month. The former BBC Breakfast presenter revealed on February 20 that he had been knocked off his bike by a car by sharing a series of images of his bloodied and bruised face on social media.

Later, sharing an image of himself with bruises and giving a thumbs up, the 46-year-old added that he had no memory of being hit by a car. Dan told his Instagram followers: “Just got home from hospital. Battered and bruised but – amazingly – nothing broken. Very thankful to still be here. I have no memory of anything and just remember coming round on the tarmac with paramedics & police around me."

Dan then continued to share updates on his recovery, which saw him having to eat and drink through a straw, as friends and strangers rallied around to offer their help and support. But the Channel 5 News presenter has since returned to work and he has now also got back on two wheels.
