A biker was rushed to a major trauma centre with multiple injuries after an early morning crash in Warwickshire[1]. Medics found the motorbiker, who has not been identified, in a ditch off Banbury Road, Lighthorne at 7.10am this morning (June 1).
The Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance was scrambled to the scene alongside two ambulances and a paramedic support office. After being assessed, a doctor from the air ambulance travelled with him to the University Hospital Coventry[2] and Warwickshire (UHCW)

“His condition was stabilised before he was taken by ambulance to the major trauma centre at University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire; the doctor travelled with the crew due to the seriousness of the man’s condition.”
