Cyclist wins compensation after pothole crash Jocky Johnstone says his friends “didn’t think I would make it” after he hit the ground face first cycling
A well-known bike racer in Scotland has said that his friends “didn’t think I would make it” after he crashed when he hit a pothole that South Lanarkshire District Council had failed to repair properly despite a number of complaints about the road defect.
“My cycling pals said I was lying on the ground gargling and they didn't think I would make it. The paramedics worked on me on the ground for an hour before I was taken to hospital. His daughter Jacqueline got in touch with Cycle Law Scotland, which found out through Freedom of Information requests to the council that since 2018 it had been notified of a number of defects on the road, that it had carried out temporary repairs a number of times, and on each occasion those repairs had failed.
“I eat well and live life well so just getting out again and meeting new people again makes me happy.” “It’s been a joy to work with Jocky and to hear his stories about his days racing and his general love of life. His attitude has been inspiring to me, as I have started road racing myself over the past few years.
