Dan Walker said he was ‘certain that I am not to fault’ following a bike accident on Monday.
The 45-year-old former BBC Breakfast presenter revealed the incident in an Instagram photo that showed him with scratches to his face and a bloodied nose.
Dan has now thought on the fact that he ‘might have died,’ but has stated that he has no recollection of the event in Sheffield.
He wrote in The Times newspaper: ‘There is still nothing there, which a large part of me is very happy about.
‘I can’t go into details at the moment because the police might take another week or so to publish their report but, after talking to Conor (a police officer), I am confident that I am not to blame and I hope this can be resolved outside the courts.
‘I know I could have died but I also know how easy it is to make a mistake, even when you’re trying to be careful.
‘I can’t really remember what they (the driver) looked like, from that moment they were looking over me as I came round, but I do recall that they looked deeply distressed and I imagine it is all they are thinking about at the moment.’
Dan continued: ‘That Monday could have been the day that changed their life forever.
‘I asked Conor if I would be able to talk to the driver if they were OK with that. I’ll let you know what happens.’
The TV host thanked the police, the NHS, and emergency services, as well as friends and family and members of the public, for their assistance following the collision.
Dan also expressed his dissatisfaction with “doing nothing” and stated that he intends to return to his work as a Channel 5 news anchor next week.
‘As long as the swelling and bruising have gone down, I think I will go back to work later this week,’ he penned.
‘Channel 5 have been brilliant. They sent me some chocolates in the post. I sucked the caramel one and will come back to the rest once the mouth is back to full power.’
Dan, who lives in Sheffield, where the accident occurred, provided further details about what happened and credited his bike helmet with saving his life in a series of Instagram postings following the event.
