In April 2012, Conway was struck by a Ford truck while cycling on Arkansas road in the USA.

"It must have been about 5:45 am when a truck hit me and threw me off my bike. I landed on the bonnet before falling to the side of the road. My helmet was broken, but it saved my head from fatal injuries. That was the last thing I remember," he said.

Sean Conway survived the accident because he was wearing a helmet.

Conway is supporting SolarAid, a charity that aims to provide solar power to poor villages in South Africa.
