A Madison, WI bicyclist had his head run over by a delivery truck - and walked away with nothing more than a concussion and a smashed helmet.

“I didn’t see it coming, but I sure felt it roll over my head. It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head,” said Ryan Lipscomb.

The graduate student in medical physics was riding down a bike path on Friday afternoon when the truck made a right turn in front of him. Lipscomb tried to stop his bicycle, and ended up landing in the street, where the truck rolled over his head and kept on going.

Lipscomb’s helmet is practically flattened, and laced with tread marks and cracks. He was released after about three hours in a local hospital. “I’m okay except for a concussion,” he said on Friday.

The accident, ruled a hit-and-run is under investigation. “The truck driver definitely would’ve known,” said Lipscomb. “You know when you run over a curb, and my head was definitely higher than a curb.”
