Appeal over Bristol cyclist and ambulance crash

A cyclist involved in a collision with an ambulance answering a 999 call has appealed for witnesses to the accident in Bristol to contact him.

Guy Harlow, 30, of Southville, was left with severe bruising and a head injury from the crash at the junction of Tower Hill and Narrow Plain in the city centre at 8.30am on July 15.

He believes there may have been witnesses to the accident and he wants them to get in touch with him so he can find out exactly what happened.

The ambulance had just left the Great Western Ambulance Service station in Tower Hill with blue lights flashing when the accident happened. It was on its way to the home of an elderly man who had fallen.

Mr Harlow, who was treated at the scene and taken to the Bristol Royal Infirmary, said he was cycling along Passage Street in the cycle lane towards Temple Way when the accident happened at the junction with Tower Hill.

Mr Harlow, an administration worker, said he was left with severe bruising to his shoulder, knee and arm and an injury to his head.

Anyone with information about the collision should contact Mr Harlow by sending him an email.
