Simon Cowell rushed to hospital after second bike crash in 18 months: ‘Lucky to be alive’
Entertainment mogul, Simon Cowell has been rushed to hospital following another e-bike crash, with the music mogul ‘lucky to be alive’.
The X Factor star was admitted to hospital with suspected concussion and a broken arm after the crash in West London, which came just 18 months after his crash in Los Angeles.
A source said to Sun UK: ‘Simon is lucky to be alive.
‘He was pedalling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch.’
‘He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.’
Simon had a crash 18 months ago but reportedly said he’s not ditching his bike, despite the two crashes.
According to People magazine, Simon is ‘fine’ and is already back home.
The music mogul broke his back in the previous accident in Los Angeles, but later insisted he wouldn’t change anything about it.
Speaking to ex Terri Seymour on ExtraTV, Simon said: ‘My most creative time is now when I cycle, because I cycle even though it’s an e-bike. I still got to pedal and I do about ten miles a day, even though I had an accident on one.
‘That was more an electric motorbike, these are called pedal-assist bikes and they’re brilliant.’
