CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS — A man was sent to the hospital in critical condition after he laid down his bike and struck his head.

The crash happened around 3 pm Sunday near the intersection of Carrizo and Agnes Street.

Witnesses told police officers that the biker was driving fast in the wrong direction when he laid down his bike. When medics arrived at the scene, they found the man breathing but not responding.
