(CS) A motorcyclist was left trapped under a car close to Bettembourg, after losing control of his bike and skidding under a car with his head first.

Thanks to wearing a helmet, the man only suffered light injuries. Emergency services arrived on the scene after first aiders had helped the man out of the helmet, which was firmly lodged under the car.

The accident occurred between Bettembourg and Dudelange shortly after 1.15pm. The cause of the accident was not known at the time of publication.
