A British cyclist who suffered serious injuries after a high-speed crash in Dubai is recovering in hospital. Josh Quigley, 28, from Livingston in Scotland, fractured his spine, shoulder, pelvis and collarbone in a training accident on his bike. Mr Quigley said he came off his bike while travelling along a fast, downhill section of road at about 60kph. He is awaiting surgery for his injuries, and is unable to walk, but thanked those who helped take him to hospital immediately after the accident. "Not sure what the recovery process is looking like yet," he said on social media. "Very grateful to Ben and Tobias who I was riding with for getting me an ambulance and making sure I got to hospital OK. "There's a great cycling community here who have been great to me since I've been here and they're all doing a lot to make sure I am looked after and have what I need in here. "Huge thanks also to a few people who stopped at the scene and all of the first responders and medical staff who have helped at the hospital so far.” It is not the first time Mr Quigley has suffered serious injuries while cycling. During an attempt to cycle around the world, he was knocked down by a car in the US last September. The Scot was flown to hospital after the collision in Texas that left him with a punctured lung, fractured pelvis, broken ribs and serious head injuries. After his recovery, Mr Quigley went on to break the world record for the fastest crossing of North America, completing the 830-kilometre route in 31 hours and 17 minutes – six minutes faster than the previous record.
