USAT Nationals Bike Accident

As i was leaving sprint nationals this morning around 9:30Am i saw a cyclist being loaded onto a stretcher on the AC exoressway.
Another sitting with the medical personnel.

Anyone have any word on the status of this athlete?

Hoping everyone is alright.

I passed the crash on the bike and it looked BAD. It involved two bikes and one rider appeared unresponsive. Could have been a pass gone wrong in a cross wind.

I saw the aftermath of the crash. I saw one cyclist on the ground, who later finished the race. I did not see the ambulance, stretcher, or any other cyclists.

Any updates here?

I know one of the athletes involved. Without providing specifics without permission, that person is okay as they can be, spent a decent amount of time in local ER, and recovering at home.
