Billionaire Richard Branson has revealed he has been in a serious bike accident in which he thought he "was going to die".
The entrepreneur was cycling in the dark on Virgin Gorda, one of the British Virgin Islands, with his children, Holly and Sam, when he hit a bump in the road, causing him to be flung over his handlebars.
He has now spoken out about how his "life flashed before his eyes" in the accident, which happened earlier this week and left him with a black eye and large cut on his face.
Writing in a blog on the Virgin website, he said: "I was heading down a hill towards Leverick Bay when it suddenly got really dark and I managed to hit a 'sleeping policeman' hump in the road head on.
