Dan Walker ‘can’t do much with left hand’ after horror crash

TV presenter and journalist Dan Walker has issued an update following a crash earlier in the week. The Channel 5 star previously shared how he was “glad to be alive” after his bike collided with a car.

Following the crash, Dan has been unable to use his left hand. He is currently recovering at home after being left “battered and bruised”.

On Thursday, February 23, the 45-year-old took to Instagram to describe some of the limitations he has faced since the accident. Dan captioned a photo of some of his ready-meals: "I was just thinking about tea but can't do much with my left hand at the minute so these babies have arrived at just the right time."

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Dan announced that he’d been involved in an accident on Monday, February 20. In a post which showed off his injuries, he wrote: “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 & 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 a gorgeous, furry, tired nurse at the end of the sofa."

Following the incident, a spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police told the PA news agency that as it was a "minor injury collision" the force would not be "providing details". Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust said their staff "do an amazing job every day helping thousands of patients".

A spokeswoman for the Service added: "We are very proud of the care they provide and would like to send our best wishes to Dan Walker for a speedy recovery." For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
