The TV presenter and journalist is still unable to eat or drink properly
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.
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.
While Dan is now at home recovering and updating his thousands of followers on social media sites he is clearly still reeling from his ordeal and taking some well earned rest. On Tuesday, he wrote on Twitter: "Best thing about being in bed drinking through a straw… #FullSwing on Netflix". He followed it up with "The other good thing is that Made By Jonty have just posted some cakes - I’ll get them in the blender".
Over on Instagram, celebs were quick to respond to Dan's recount of event. After revealing: "Smashed my watch & phone, ruined my trousers, my bike is a mess but I’m still here". Continuing: "Currently eating soup through a straw and being looked after by a gorgeous, furry, tired nurse at the end of the sofa," referring to his dog Winnie, he advised fellow cyclists: "The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so - if you’re on a bike - get one on your head.
