A motocross rider said it was a "miracle" that he escaped serious injury after a bike ran over his shoulders and head in a crash.
Calum Mitchell, 24, from King's Lynn, Norfolk, was racing near Shrewsbury two weeks ago as he warmed up for his home round of the British Motocross Championship, when he hit another rider and ended up unconscious.
The third round is being held at Cadders Hill in Lyng, near Dereham, on Sunday, where Mitchell earned his first race victory in the MX2 class last year.
He will not be able to race, but is planning to watch. He said: "I'm really, really lucky. My family and my dad especially, unfortunately he saw me wake up, [I] didn't know who I was or what my name was.
"I was in a really, really bad state... but if you looked at me now, it would be a miracle."
Speaking about the crash, he said: "I got into a little bit of a sandwich, should we say, and I was in the middle.
"I tried doing my best and unfortunately got tangled up with some faster riders, and then luckily enough it was just me that went down... it was just me that got the worst end of it, and unfortunately I did get then run over."
He said he was "severely battered and bruised" and needed oxygen, and was close to having a cardiac arrest.
Despite what happened, Mitchell said he hoped to be back riding again as soon as possible.
"It's nearly two weeks since I crashed and I thought I would be in a better place right now. Unfortunately, I'm not, and I'll just need to listen to my body.
"Lyng was the best performance of my career... it was just a special moment at that time.
"I've got some great people around me that are right behind me in my corner and when I do come back, we'll be coming back stronger."
