A biker in Edinburgh has told how he was "catapulted 30 feet in the air" after a horror smash with a private hire car on a busy road in Leith as he was riding home from work.
The incident took place on May 10 on Ferry Road just metres from Charlie Phillips' door. His worried sister heard the screeching of tyres and ran out to find her brother unconscious on the road.
Charlie Phillips, 32, had broken several bones and was rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he spent 12 days fighting of life.
