TV and music mogul Simon Cowell is reported to have suffered another e-bike crash that saw him thrown over the handlebars and into the road.

Cowell was taken to hospital after the accident near his home in West London on Thursday, reports the Mirror.

18-months ago Cowell broke his back in an e-bike accident in Los Angeles.

A source told The Mirror: "Simon was on the e-bike with his electric motor on, when the bike slipped on a wet patch.

"He went flying over the handlebars into the middle of the road and is lucky to be alive as he wasn’t wearing a helmet.

"There was blood pouring from his face but luckily he managed to get some help from passers by.

"He was taken to hospital and X-rays showed he broke his arm.

"He has his arm in a yellow cast and is on the mend now but will need to rest."

According to The Sun, passersby helped poor Simon before the ambulance arrived.

He was taken to hospital with suspected concussion and a broken arm, reports the publication.

A source said: “Simon is lucky to be alive.

“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."
