England’s Matt Walls was involved in a terrifying accident at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday morning when he was catapulted over the barriers and into the crowds at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London. He received treatment for more than 40 minutes before being taken away by ambulance.
Spectators were also hurt in the incident after he and his bike went over the top of the barriers on the high banking of the corner. Cycling was abandoned for the rest of the session following the smash.
The 24-year-old Olympic omnium champion was trying to avoid riders who had fallen in a crash lower down the banking. As he rode up, he clipped another wheel and went over the top.
