Danielle Wragg said she was driving through Oughtibridge this morning at around 8.10am when she saw a bicycle and a car collide at the junction of Station Lane and Church Street.

"It was horrific to watch. He got thrown in the air at quite some force. He had quite a bad head injury and a clearly broken ankle," she said.
