Matt Walls of Team England suffered just minor injuries in the horror crash he was a part of at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday, which saw the rider and his bike catapulted into the crowd.

The 24-year-old was involved in a huge crash during qualifying for the men's 15km scratch race at the Lee Valley VeloPark. The session was suspended as a result of the incident, which also resulted in the Isle of Man's Matt Bostock being carried out of the velodrome on a stretcher.
