....he's called jamie and had a really lucky escape!
just wanna say a huge massive big thanks to anyone who was at the scene and helped lift the car...you dont know how grateful i am!
basically what happened was that the car initially just clipped his back wheel causing him to dismount but then instead of braking, the driver accelerated and then ran him over, dragging him under the car and crashing into a tree on the curb!
amazingly he has no broken bones, just a lot of deep gashes, cuts & bruises, with a nasty burn from the exhaust pipe on his back, which will need a skin graft.
It will take him a while to recover and before he gets back on his bike, but it could have been a lot worse!
his bike is pretty ruined...handlebars totally crushed! its mad cos he rides BMX all the time and has never been injured, but then gets battered on a route he rides everyday!
thanks again to anyone who helped at the scene....you are amazing!!
