A MAN who fell from his bike at a motocross event was hit by three other bikes as he hit the floor in Stourport.
The rider, thought to be in his 20s, suffered injuries to his head, face and shoulders and he was airlifted to one of the region’s major trauma centres as a result.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to a motocross track near to Wilden Top Road, in Stourport, shortly after 2pm on Sunday (October 11) and sent an ambulance, a rapid response paramedic and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance to the scene.
A spokesman from WMAS said: “Crews were told the man had temporarily lost consciousness prior to their arrival.
“Once on scene they began treating him for his multiple injuries which he sustained in a nasty fall which saw him collide with three other competitors.
“He was then airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Birmingham, which had been pre-alerted to his condition before his arrival.”
