The camera crew captured Luke placing a tube in the fallen rider’s throat so that he could breathe, and travelled in the ambulance with him to hospital.

Tragically, Jordan’s injuries were unsurviable, and he passed away days later.

Luke said: “If I stepped back and thought about the gravity of the situation, so someone who is fighting for their life, then if you thought about that it would blow your mind a little bit.

“But that’s my job, that’s what I’ve trained for. This is what I’m here for.”
