Kite buggy racer suffers head injuries in accident on Brean beach

-


A kite buggying enthusiast suffered head injuries after an accident on Brean beach at the weekend.

An ambulance was called to the beach at lunchtime on Sunday (November 23rd) after a strong gust of wind lifted the man, then sent him down onto the hard sand.

Melodie Juste, spokeswoman for South Western Ambulance Service, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We were called to an accident on the beach at 12.50pm on Sunday in which a male in his 30s suffered a head injury. He was taken to Weston General Hospital as a precaution.”

One eyewitness at the scene told Burnham-On-Sea.com the man had been fortunate to suffer “relatively minor” injuries and that he was making a good recovery.
