He said: 'I'm really lucky, it's phenomenal I wasn't more injured. Ninety-five per cent of the time the outcome is the cyclist doesn't walk away, but I think I've broken my toe and that's about it. 'There was a mini roundabout - one of the painted ones. I'm coming in to turn right and the car is coming from my left. 'But rather than letting me go or going around the driver has come the wrong way and drove straight into me. We crashed head on. She's treated it as though there was no roundabout.' Mr Schofield was able to get back up and sit down nearby to catch his breath, with witnesses soon crowding round to check his condition An ambulance was called, and he spent five hours at Queens Hospital in Burton-on-Trent Mr Schofield was able to get back up and sit down nearby to catch his breath, with witnesses soon crowding round to check his condition. An ambulance was called, and he spent five hours at Queens Hospital in Burton-on-Trent. 'The photos are grabbing, and I want drivers to see and think before they cut a corner or overtake a cyclist,' he said. 'If can get one person to think twice about cutting a roundabout that's a success. 'I've had friends who aren't that lucky - as a cyclist you're just so vulnerable. I'm incredibly sore, bruised and shaken - but luckily there was no lasting damage. 'I'm so immensely lucky to have walked away with nothing broken - there are countless scenarios where people barely walk away or come off much worse than me.'
