A Golden Square cyclist has returned
home from hospital to spend Christmas with his family after suffering broken
vertebrae, a broken neck and serious facial injuries in a freak crash.
Mr Mollison’s bike stopped dead and his momentum flipped him over the handlebars and head-first onto the road.
“I remember it all quite vividly – didn’t lose consciousness at any point,” Mr Mollison said.We offer latest wide collection of replica fashionwatch,
“When I was riding along I could hear this stick getting flicked between other riders’ wheels and I can remember thinking to myself ‘gee, I hope that stick doesn’t jam in my wheel’ and within a split-second it had and I was falling over the handlebars at high speed.
“The bloke that was riding beside me said I had my hands on the gear and brake levers, basically my face and the top of my helmet took the full brunt. I didn’t have even a split-second, it all happened so quick.”
The Central Victorian Veterans Cycling Club member was at the back of a group of riders who rushed to his aid once they realised what had happened.
“A lot of the younger blokes couldn’t look at me and I don’t blame them because my bottom lip was torn in two and part of it was just flopping around so my face was a mess,” Mr Mollison said.
“I just lay there regurgitating all this blood until the ambulance arrived – it was like a horror movie.”
Mr Mollison was taken to Bendigo Hospital, where he stayed just five hours before being transferred to Royal Melbourne Hospital.
“They took all these X-rays and then they realised they couldn’t deal with it there,” Mr Mollison said.
“I think the plastic surgery was probably the stumbling block because my face was such a mess.
“I ended up in Melbourne, they hadn’t picked up I had a broken neck at that point. I kept complaining about this pain in my neck so I had an MRI and then my neck was the main priority.”
Mr Mollison – who works in the Visual Arts department at La Trobe University – said he still suffered pain and struggled to sleep at night, requiring an electronic chair to lay down and lift him into a seated position.

“I had a bad accident 15 years ago; I broke my pelvis and gave up racing for a little while then came back to it,” he said.
