A cyclist who was treated by air ambulance medics in Merstham last summer was featured in a documentary last night.

The 43-year-old father of three suffered multiple fractures to his face and spine as well as a bleed on the brain following his collision with a car in May.

The Redhill-based Kent, Surrey and Sussex air ambulance doctor and paramedic responded by car and gave emergency assistance at the road-side, putting the cyclist into an induced coma.

He was then taken by ambulance to the Major Trauma Centre at St. George’s Hospital for further treatment.

Channel 4’s 24 Hours in A&E featured the cyclists’ arrival at the Centre and news of his scans.
