A biker who suffered heart problems then collapsed at the side of the road was miraculously saved when police managed to find him trapped under his vehicle and hidden under bushes. Alan Wright, 75, lost control of his three-wheeled motorcycle and was stuck beneath his scooter.
He feared he would die before being found. The pensioner was travelling back from a holiday in France to his home in Derbyshire when he started suffering breathing problems on the A2 near Dover, Kent.
As the retired IT worker suffered severe nausea - another early sign of heart failure - he then fell and was trapped beneath the bike. Mr Wright was drifting in and out of consciousness while covered by thick undergrowth that prevented other passing motorists spotting him in trouble.
