I'm Incredibly Lucky, Says Mayall
Monday June 8, 1998

Comic Strip star Rik Mayall has spoken for the first time about the accident that nearly claimed his life.

The actor, also known for playing lecherous MP Alan B'stard in the New Statesman, said: "Even now I look to the sky and wonder why I'm still here. I'm incredibly lucky."

Mayall, 39, nearly lost his life when a 600lb quad bike crushed him while he was riding on his farm in East Allington, Devon, in April.
