Kirsten Landman is the first African woman to complete the Dakar Rally on a motorbike.

She travelled 7,500km over 12 days, mostly across the unforgiving sand of the Saudi Arabian desert.

However back in 2013, a terrible accident at a race in Botswana left the South African in an induced coma for two weeks and fighting for her life.

She tells Caroline Barker about her remarkable journey back to racing.
