Record executive and English television personality, Simon Cowell, is 'lucky to be alive' after he was reportedly rushed to hospital following another e-bike crash.
Metro UK reports that he was admitted to hospital with suspected concussion and a broken arm after the crash in West London.
This is coming 18 months after his crash in Los Angeles.
A source said: "Simon is lucky to be alive.
"He was pedalling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch.
Another source told The SUN that; "He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.
According to People magazine, Simon is ‘fine’ and is already back home.
Meanwhile, the X Factor judge has reportedly said that he’s not ditching his bike, despite the two crashes.
Speaking to ex Terri Seymour on ExtraTV, Simon said: ‘My most creative time is now when I cycle, because I cycle even though it’s an e-bike. I still got to pedal and I do about ten miles a day, even though I had an accident on one.
‘That was more an electric motorbike, these are called pedal-assist bikes and they’re brilliant.’
He also didn’t lack confidence when it came to riding a bike for the first time again.
‘That expression “get back on your bike,” with me, it was literal. I feel better than I did because I exercise so much more,’ Simon confessed.
‘Honestly, if I could rewind, I would have gone through the whole thing again. Just because I feel better now. Yeah, even though it hurt like hell at the time.’
