I thought this needed its own thread, even though it's in the cycling thread.
In an already dangerous downhill sprint finish at the Tour of Poland, Dylan Groenwegen of Jumbo Visma realized Fabio Jakobsen is going to pass him, and puts him into the wall - gives it two tries, in fact, until Jakobsen's bike impacts the barrier in an explosion, taking out a photographer and a spectator. It also triggers a bunch of other high speed crashes and injuries in the bunch. So far the only punishment for Groenwegen is being DQ'd.
Jakobsen had a massive head impact, crushed palate, crushed trachea, lots of blood loss and is in a medically induced coma in intensive care after surgery.
I think the part of the video that starts at 3:00 gives the best view of what happened.
