It has been three days since broadcaster Dan Walker shocked followers with pictures of his injuries following an road accident that sent him to A and E. However, the popular TV presenter and journalist is still unable to eat or drink properly with his facial injures forcing him to use a straw. The star also revealed that he is unable to use his hand properly after being knocked off his bike by a motorist.
At the beginning of the week, Dan had been cycling from his home in Sheffield towards the train station when he was hit by a car on one of the city's busiest roundabouts. While Dan reassured fans that "amazingly" he had no broken bones following the collision, he added that he also had "no memory" of the accident. He said: "I think I got hit by a car but was out cold for about 20 minutes." The former BBC Breakfast presenter explained: "I came round on the tarmac with paramedics and police standing over me."
Shortly after the crash he tweeted a picture of himself, battered and bruised and in the back of an ambulance on the way to hospital. He wrote: "Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike. Face is a mess but I don’t think anything is broken. Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene." Adding: "This is my smiling. Thankful for our NHS "
