A man from West Huntspill, near Burnham, was rushed to hospital in an air ambulance after breaking six ribs and puncturing a lung in a motorbike accident in Wales.
Steve Evans, 54, was riding a three wheeled motorbike at Cwmavon, near Port Talbot, when he lost control of the machine. It careered off the road and ploughed into a wall.
Steve, pictured below before the accident, was rushed to Swansea Hospital by helicopter and is now making good progress.
Steve, a well-known local face, is a musician in local country and western group Movin’ On and his music partner Vic Spark told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Tuesday (August 12th) he is relieved that Steve is recovering well.
“Steve has been in intensive care for four days and is recovering well after what was a terrifying accident,” said Vic.
“He’d been road testing a three wheel motorbike when the accident happened. The road surface was very poor and Steve hit a bump, went into the kerb, and the bike shot into a wall with him still onboard.”
“He broke six ribs, punctured a lung and was left very bruised. Without the quick work of the air ambulance, he could well have died.”
“He’s just returned back home to West Huntspill where he’s getting plenty of rest.”
Vic added that once Steve has recovered, he hopes the duo will hold several music concerts in aid of air ambulance services. “They do such an incredible job and deserve all the help they can get,” said Vic. “We can’t praise them enough.”
