British TV mogul Simon Cowell has been hospitalised after falling off his e-bike while riding.
The Sun reports that Cowell who broke his back in a bike accident in 2020 is “lucky to be alive” after being propelled off the bike onto the road at 20mph. The 62-year-old media personality was not wearing a helmet when the accident occurred.
Cowell was rushed to the hospital with a concussion and a broken arm. The dad of one was reportedly released with a yellow cast.
“Simon is lucky to be alive,” a source told The Sun.
“He was pedalling along, with his electric motor on, when the wheels suddenly went from under him after hitting a wet patch.
“He slipped and went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road.
“Stupidly, Simon wasn’t wearing a helmet, and blood was pouring from his face — he looked like something from Phantom of the Opera.
“Three kindly passers-by jumped into action and stopped the traffic so he wouldn’t be run over.”

“After being ambulanced to hospital and given an X-ray, Simon was eventually released that evening — his arm in a yellow cast all the way up to the shoulder — and told to rest.
“Despite this being his second great escape, Simon insists he’s not ditching the bike — but he will start wearing a helmet.”
Simon Cowell, most popular for his world-famous shows, The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent was also admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles in August 2020 after suffering another bike accident.
This will be Cowell’s third home accident. In 2017, he fell down the stairs of his London home.
