Parents have spoken out after they claim kids were 'close to being killed' when Oldham cyclist Matt Walls crashed into the crowd at the Commonwealth Games.
The incident, which happened at the Lee Calley VeloPark on Sunday, saw Mr Walls go over the railings and into the crowd. While he miraculously avoided any major injuries and was discharged from hospital with only a few bruises, the incident still saw the rest of the morning session get cancelled.
Two spectators, including a young girl, received treatment for their injuries in the velodrome while two other riders, Matt Bostock and Derek Gee, were taken to hospital after several riders crashed during the qualifying for men's scratch race.
