A MAN is in hospital with serious injuries after coming off his motorcycle, in an incident which saw a busy city road shut.

The single-vehicle crash saw the A4538 junction with the Spetchley roundabout close.

West Midlands Ambulance Service were called to reports of a crash at the junction of the A44 and A4538 near Churchill, Worcester at around 10.10am.

An ambulance and a paramedic officer were sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews discovered a motorcyclist had come off his bike.

Five minutes after, West Mercia Police were called to the A4538 junction with the A44 near the Spetchley roundabout to deal with the incident, with the road closed.

The man was treated at the scene for serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

He was later taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further treatment.

No arrests have been made and the road has now reopened.

Revolutionary British 'Super-Fast Charging' Electric Car Nyobolt Hits The Road
British engineering and tech firm Nyobolt’s revolutionary concept sports car has hit the road for the first time marking the moment when it may be as easy to charge an electric car as fill up a tank of petrol. The ultra-fast-charging electric vehicle, whose looks are inspired by the iconic Lotus Elise, has 470bhp. Designed by Julian Thomson, the same visionary behind the original Elise, the new prototype serves as a test bed for Nyobolt’s next-generation battery technology which promises to revolutionise EV range, charge times, and longevity. Initial tests conducted this month with the running prototype have shown impressive results. The car's 35kWh battery can be charged from 10% to 80% using a 350kW charger in just 4 minutes and 37 seconds, twice the speed of most of the fastest-charging vehicles today. Importantly, it also means drivers will be able to charge their car in not much longer than they can fill up a tank. You could plug the car in, grab a sandwich and a bag of crisps, and by the time you’d finish them your car will be fully charged! The battery has successfully undergone 4000 full fast-charge cycles, equating to around 600,000 miles, while retaining over 80% of its capacity. Weighing in at just 1246kg, it is comparable in weight to a Renault Clio, thanks to the compact and efficient battery pack that means it is much lighter than most electric cars. Nyobolt's scalable battery production is poised to begin with low-volume output this year with plans to ramp up to 1000 batteries next year and eventually reach 2 million units annually.
