Emergency services were called after collision between a car and a cyclist.
Fire and ambulance crews were called to the roundabout at the A178 and A1185 between Seaton Carew Road and Seal Sands, Billingham, at 11.02am today.
Initial reports were that the cyclist was trapped under the car.
“Thankfully that was not the case and the person was beside the vehicle,” said the watch manager at Billingham Fire Station.
“It was cold and raining so we made him comfortable and kept him warm,” he added.
“We also administered the cyclist with oxygen when he said he felt unwell and prepared him for the paramedics.”
The watch manager said the driver of the car involved did not suffer any injuries.
“The driver was just very badly shaken,” he said.
“We just made sure they were comfortable and feeling as well as they could without having to have first aid.”
The cyclist was taken to hospital but it is not known what injuries he sustained.
