seems tonights meeting at Shielfield against Isle of Wight was abandoned after two riders bikes became locked together and went straight throught he fence and into the crowd standing on the first corner.
One rider ended up in 'no-mans land' between the fences and the other at the back wall of the stadium(Scott Smith and Paul Fry for those who know the sport)
Ambulances rushed to the track and it appears two spectators were taken to hospital - one with a broken collarbone - the other with head injuries, both struck by the flying bikes. Both taken to the ambulances on spinal boards.
Meeting abandoned after a lengthy delay as the Local Authority took charge of proceedings and the police accident investigation team are there measuring and photographing the carnage.
Hope the two fans are Ok - sounds a bit ominous if the measuring tapes are out.
