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.
