The cycling scene legend fractured his spine and face and spent 10 days in the University of Wishaw Hospital after being rushed there by ambulance
A Scots cyclist who fractured his spine after hitting a pothole on his bicycle has sued South Lanarkshire Council.
Jocky told the Record: "I can't remember the accident. I woke up in the hospital surrounded by doctors. The firm discovered that numerous complaints about potholes in that area had been made to South Lanarkshire Council as far back as 2018, after a freedom of information request. South Lanarkshire Council agreed to a settlement figure to cover Jocky's injuries and losses almost two years on from the crash.
Roz Boynton, associate solicitor at Cycle Law Scotland said: “Whilst Jocky’s injuries were bad enough, it was by sheer luck that there had not been a fatality on the road as could so easily have been the case.
