Carol Kirkwood gives teary update on injury after being hit by a car 'Can't talk about it'

“I hope one day to get back on my bike,” she shrugged, as Louise suggested using a bike coach to help with her confidence.

“You had a really horrid accident,” Louise sympathised.

“And if you hadn’t of had your helmet on, then things could have ended differently.”

Carol breathed a sigh of relief as she nodded: “If I hadn’t of had my helmet on, I would have face planted!

“I have a huge nose as you can see, so my nose hit the deck and had a lovely black bruise on it, but my helmet had a peak at the front and that’s what stopped my face from hitting the ground.”
