AN APPEAL has been launched after a cyclist was found lying in the road in Frankley yesterday (Thursday).
Around 4.05pm paramedics spotted the 76-year-old, who was wearing a white helmet and had a black and white bike next to him, on New Street, at the junction of Arden Road.
He had suffered a head injury and was taken to hospital where he remains in a stable condition.
Det Sgt Paul Hughes, from West Midlands Police serious collision investigation unit, said: βAt this stage we are keeping an open mind as to how this gentleman sustained his injuries.
βI am keen to hear from anyone who was in the area around 4pm, in particular anyone who might have dash-cam footage, please get in touch.β
