A CYCLIST is “lucky to have not suffered further injuries” when he collided with a crash barrier in the city centre.
The 34-year-old man was left with a nasty flesh wound on his chest in the early hours of Sunday morning.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Ringway Hill Cross, near the Hollyhead Road and at the rear of the Skydome.
A spokesman said: “Crews arrived to find a man who was wrapped in a foil blanket being cared for by police.
“On opening the blanket, crews discovered the 34-year-old man had suffered a very nasty flesh wound to his chest.
“Crews treated the man at the scene and dressed his wound before taking him on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further assessment and treatment.
“The man had reportedly been riding his bicycle on the elevated stretch of the ring road when he lost control and ended up sliding down a crash barrier, making contact with the sharp end of another barrier.
“Given the nature and location of the incident, the man was very lucky not to have suffered more serious injuries.”
