The men's scratch 15km track cycling event at the Commonwealth Games was halted after a horror crash saw an English competitor and his bike catapulted into the crowd in Birmingham.
Cyclist Matt Walls was still receiving treatment some 40 minutes after the incident, which has stunned the Games. Protective screens were put up around the area in which Walls was being treated. At 1.16pm, an announcement on the tannoy at the velodrome asked spectators to leave the Lee Valley VeloPark venue, with the event abandoned.
Walls has been taken to hospital, with Team England confirming he was awake and alert. Another cyclist, Matt Bostock of the Isle of Man, was taken away on a stretcher and transferred to hospital. A third cyclist is also in hospital.
