Dan Walker came back into his body after near-fatal bike crash

Dan Walker has admitted he had an out-of-body experience right after his bike crash that left him battered and bruised. The news presenter was fortunate enough to avoid sustaining serious injuries but he did have a black eye and a bloodied nose. Dan, 46, said he had a “reset moment” while he was being treated by paramedics at the scene. “I had a strange experience where I was watching myself on the floor then eventually I came back into my body… It was a sort of reset moment for me,” he told The Sun newspaper’s TV Mag. The Channel 5 News presenter was rushed to hospital earlier this year after suffering nasty injuries in the crash.

He subsequently tweeted a selfie of his swollen and cut face, accompanied by a bloodied white shirt, saying he has “no memory of anything”. Dan commented: “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.

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.’ “Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene. This is my smiling Thankful for our NHS [sic].” After the accident, his agent told The Times: “Walker is now in hospital recovering. It is understood the accident took place when the TV presenter was cycling from his home in Sheffield to the train station, where he was going to the Channel 5 studios in London.” Dan has previously told of how he finds using taxis in London to be a “nightmare” and instead commutes to work by bicycle.
