A CYCLIST suffered a serious head injury following a crash with a car in Stratford.

Emergency services were called to Seven Meadows Road around 9.50am on Monday (January 18).

The cyclist – a man believed to be in his 50s – was treated by paramedics before being airlifted to University Hospital in Coventry.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered a man who had fallen from his bicycle following a collision with a car.




“He was treated for a serious head injury and given pain relief.

“He received specialist trauma care to stabilise his condition, was immobilised and airlifted to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.”
