A rider escaped serious injury at motorcycling’s North West 200 in a horror crash that flung him “around 25ft” in the air and onto the bonnet of a car.

Paul Cassidy careered into a crash barrier after colliding with a fellow competitor in one of Northern Ireland’s largest annual sporting events, held on a nine-mile street circuit known as the Triangle between the towns of Portstewart, Coleraine and Portrush.
