Commonwealth Games cycling abandoned as horror crash sees fan left covered in blood

Cyclist Matt Walls was involved in a horror crash at the Commonwealth Games, with the Team England rider going over the barrier and into the crowd.

The crash took place during the men's 15km scratch race qualifying and a fan was left covered in blood and had to be taken away in a wheelchair. The remainder of the session was abandoned, with Matt Bostock taken away on a stretcher and Walls seen wearing an oxygen mask as he prepared to leave in an ambulance.

A young girl was also attended to by medics after receiving a cut on her arm. "Thoughts are with all the riders involved in the crash in the velodrome," England's race team tweeted.
