Child airlifted in west Cumbria after crashing into metal post while cycling
A child was airlifted to hospital after crashing into a metal post while cycling in west Cumbria.
The 10-year-old boy suffered potential head and chest injuries in the crash in Flimby.
He was assessed and treated at the scene by the Great North Air Ambulance Service trauma team before being flown to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool in a 30-minute flight.
He arrived in a stable condition after the accident, at about 5pm on Sunday.
The air ambulance service was later contacted by the boy's mother, who said a CT scan had come back all clear.
