Dan Walker suffers nasty injuries in car crash leaving his face covered in blood – as star says he’s ‘glad to be alive’
DAN Walker has suffered nasty injuries after a car crash left him covered in blood.
The TV star shared pictures of his “mess” of a face this morning admitting he was “glad to be alive”.
The 45-year-old former BBC Breakfast presenter revealed his bloodied swollen face while laid up in an ambulance.
He also posted a selfie with the NHS staff who were caring for him.
It is understood he was travelling on his bike when he was hit by a car.
The dad-of-three escaped seemingly without major injuries.
He doesn’t believe he came away with any broken bones.
Police and ambulance crews were called to the scene.
He tweeted: “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.
“Thankful for our NHS.”
The journalist left the BBC in May after six years for a new role at Channel 5.
Before leaving, he helped cover the 2010 Fifa World Cup, the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
In 2021, Dan narrowly missed out on the semi-final of Strictly Come Dancing.
