“He was treated for a serious head injury together with back and rib injuries.

“He was also immobilised and given pain relief before being taken to the same hospital.”

The crash has closed the southbound A46 between Stoneleigh and Kenilworth, and there are long delays in the area.

There is also slow traffic on the southbound M42 and M40 because of an earlier accident between junction 3a of the M42 and junction 16 of the M40.
