Teenage cyclist airlifted following collision in Ludlow
A teenage cyclist from Ludlow was airlifted to Hereford County Hospital yesterday after being in collision with a car.
The teenager was travelling downhill in Ludlow when he was involved in the collision at the junction of Sidney Road and Housman Close at just after 5.20pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The collision left the car with front end damage and happened on a downhill stretch of road.
“The cyclist suffered a suspected right leg fracture and also minor injuries to his face. Whilst being treated by ambulance crews he suffered a sudden drop in his blood pressure, which medics acted quickly upon.
“He was given fluids and immobilised before being airlifted to Hereford County Hospital for further assessment.”
As well as the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham, an ambulance and a community paramedic in a rapid response vehicle attended the scene.
