Scherstetten (dpa / lby) – A driver found an injured and unconscious cyclist on the side of the road in Scherstetten (Augsburg district). The woman probably saved the 53-year-old man from worse on Wednesday, police said on Thursday.

When driving past, the 55-year-old saw a bike lying on the bike path. She drove back and saw the badly injured man lying in the grass next to the road. The police suspect that the chain on the 53-year-old’s bike had jumped out and that’s why he fell. Paramedics took him to the hospital with a suspected arm fracture and traumatic brain injury.
