Dan Walker appears on TV after horror crash

Dan Walker discussed his horror bike crash during a TV interview following the incident as he appeared on Loose Women on Tuesday afternoon.

The broadcaster, 46, told how he is already back on his bike following the accident, despite being unable to feel his lip and suffering from a lump on his hip.

The 5News host was left with a swollen and bloodied face and a black eye after being knocked off his bike on a roundabout on February 20.

Dan previously said he was unconscious ‘for about 20 minutes’ after the accident in Sheffield and had no memory of it.

Detailing how he feels now, he told the panel: ‘I still can’t feel part of my lip and I’ve got a lump on my hip, I might have to get this tooth out over a blood supply issue but I haven’t broken any bones.

‘I went back on a bike 10 days ago, the first roundabout I had a bit of a stay focused but the way I look at it I’ve got to get back out there, driving makes me a better cyclist and vice versa.’

The father of three recently posted a picture of him cycling outside St Pancras station in London, adding there were ‘no flashbacks’.

He shared the snap of himself riding on a new yellow Gocycle, a folding e-bike, with a new helmet – but complained that his orange socks didn’t match the frame.

Dan has made a quick recovery since his horror crash and appeared just over two weeks later at the Ultimate News Quiz in aid of Action for Children. 

Last month he announced the terrifying ordeal on Instagram where he shared snaps of his injuries.

At the time, he wrote: ‘Not quite the week I had planned but I’m on the mend. ‘I’m very grateful for all your kind messages & for my family & lovely friends. I’m also thankful for the paramedics, the police & the people who looked after me in A & E.’

In footage from a vehicle in front of the accident, Dan can be seen on his bicycle when the rear wheel caught a car’s front wing.

He later addressed an image of his battered face during an appearance on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine Show.

‘I’m very thankful that I’ve healed,’ he told the presenter. ‘Basically, there’s been a few lumps and bumps and grazes all over the place.

‘I’ve got a badly damaged hand. I won’t take my trousers off, Jeremy, but I’ve got a massive bruise on my right hip at the moment.’

Dan said that he was ‘really thankful’ to the paramedics, police, and those that looked after him in the hospital.

Elsewhere during the Loose Women interview, Dan discussed the Nicola Bulley documentary he is working on.

Dan said: ‘There was such an interest on what happened to this poor person, it prompted lots of people to get in touch about their own family members, someone goes missing every 90 seconds…

‘Her family are so grateful were doing it to prevent other people from going through it, the fact there’s no programme like this on tv, its a live show…

‘We’re trying to do it responsibly, we’re speaking to the police, we also have representative from missing people charity on every show, we are just looking for facts for those families who just want to know…

‘Everyone says they just want to know they’re ok and somebody somewhere knows something and by putting their faces on the TV, someone might say they recognise them from the bus or crossing the road.

‘We all have the right to go missing and that is an element of the debate. The charity will often say your family member is fine but they don’t want to be found and at least they know.’
