English broadcast journalist Dan Walker shared a slew of bloodied selfies after getting into a bike accident on Monday morning. In a series of tweets, the Channel 5 anchor shared photos taken inside an ambulance and wrote, “Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike.” Later, he posted a thread after returning home from the hospital, sharing pictures of his black eye, shattered Apple Watch, and ripped pants. “Battered and bruised but - amazingly - nothing broken,” he shared, before adding the helpful reminder, “The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so - if you’re on a bike - get one on your head.” According to Variety, Walker will miss Monday evening’s broadcast while he recovers.
Blown away by all the lovely messages. Thank you.

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
