A jockey suffered a bizarre double stroke of bad luck, breaking his nose in a fall and then suffering a broken leg when he was run over by the ambulance sent to help him.

Chris Meehan, a Northern Ireland jockey, was knocked out when he was unshipped by his mount during a hurdle race at the Merano track in Italy on Sunday. He sustained a bad gash to his jaw as well as the nose injury.

"The racecourse ambulance came up alongside us and reversed up onto my leg," Meehan told The Racing Post.

"I started screaming. It broke it straight away."
