TWO people were injured following a bicycle accident in Leominster last night.

The accident happened on Green Lane at around 9.20pm when crews arrived to find two injured men.

Two ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, an incident support officer and an emergency doctor were sent to the scene.

Claire Thomas, press officer for West Midlands Ambulance Service, said: "It is believed both men came off the same bicycle.

“One man believed to be the cyclist and in his 20s, suffered collarbone, rib and spinal injuries.

"Crews treated him at the scene and he was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board before being taken by ambulance to Hereford County Hospital."

She added that a second man, also believed to be in his 20s, suffered minor facial injuries and was treated for his injuries on scene before he was taken to hospital.
