A 64-year-old man suffered potentially devastating spinal injuries when he rode over an open drainage gate at the Britannia Yacht Club, the force of the collision throwing him violently to the ground, the impact shattering his helmet.
Bystanders administered first aid until paramedics arrived at 3:43 p.m. to find the man unconscious with severe facial injuries and a possible severe spinal injury.
The man was treated on scene for shock and rushed to the Ottawa Trauma Unit in critical condition.
