Dan Walker gives health update on crash that left him with nasty injuries – as he reveals what saved his life
DAN Walker has revealed that he “can’t remember” the horror crash which left him with nasty injuries.
The TV star said that his life had been saved by the bike helmet he was wearing when he was hit by a car.
Walker, 45, said: “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 and police around me.
He added: “The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so – if you’re on a bike – get one on your head.
“Smashed my watch & phone, ruined my trousers, my bike is a mess but I’m still here.
“Currently eating soup through a straw and being looked after by this gorgeous, tired nurse.”
The presenter also posted a selfie of his bruised and bloodied face, as well as pics of his smashed watch and ripped trousers.
