A cyclist is recovering in hospital after coming off their bike following what is believed to be a medical episode.
The cyclist was traveling towards Bockhampton when witnesses reported that he veered off the road landing in the verge.
The casualty was lying unconscious on the side of the road whilst being cared for by members of the public.
An ambulance arrived on scene followed by police and the Devon Air Ambulance. However, the cyclist was treated in the ambulance and was taken to Dorset County Hospital by road, not requiring the air ambulance.
It’s understood that only minor injuries were sustained, and the cyclist was sitting up in hospital a short time after arriving there.
