Saturday 9th August 2014 – 9.30pm – Chris Kowalik.
A cyclist has been injured in a collision with a car in Warwickshire.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Crown Way, Lillington, shortly before 11.10am today.
An ambulance crew, a paramedic area support officer in a rapid response vehicle and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The cyclist, a man in his sixties, had numerous injuries. They included injuries to his head, shoulder, elbow and hip. He also had a suspected pelvic injury.
“A pelvic binder and neck collar were applied, pain relief was given and he was placed on a spinal board before being flown to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.”
Ends
Everyone single person involved in helping the cyclist should be massively congratulated.
You quite simply do a remarkable job and one that you all should be extremely proud of.
Nothing short of outstanding professionalism and teamwork from every single person at that scene.
As I drove past the bottom of the road closure it looked to be a very serious, which is why I feel the work you do in situations like this should be recognised.
Again, excellent work and also best wishes to the person involved – hopefully their recovery is swift and positive.
Great work shame about the fools who don’t want to move or give room to let you work or take off safely
Thank you for the information about the gentleman who was injured in Crown Way, Lillington. I called the emergency services, and waited with the man until you arrived. I was wondering how he was. Thank you all for your prompt service!
