A 24-YEAR-OLD cyclist was treated for facial injuries after he collided with a car in Maribyrnong last week. The accident happened just before 8am on Wednesday at the corner of Cumberland Rd and Bracken St.
Advanced life support paramedics from Sunshine and a single responder intensive care paramedic from Footscray attended the scene, where they found the cyclist conscious but confused.
“He told us that he was riding his bike and thinks that after braking suddenly that he went over the top of his handlebars and crashed into the rear of a car in front of him,” paramedic Sophie Faulkner said.
“Thankfully he was wearing a helmet, but it’s believed that his face hit the windscreen, shattering the glass.”
The man had grazing to his left arm and cuts to his face. He was given some anti-nausea medication and taken to Western Hospital in a stable condition.
