Junior riders injured in US Nationals crash
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper reported Saturday that "At
least eight people were taken to area hospitals after a bicycling
accident Saturday morning near Seven Springs Mountain Resort."

The Seven Springs Resort is currently host to USA Cycling's National
Festival. The riders were reported to have been just a few miles into
their 56-mile Junior 17-18 category road race, but the report said
that "two people were flown by emergency helicopter" while "six other
persons were taken by ambulance to Somerset Hospital, and an
undetermined number of persons were taken to Excela Health Frick
Hospital in Mt. Pleasant." Other news reports say that as many as 30
riders were involved in the crash.

The USA Cycling National Festival is currently in it's ninth day of
competition and runs until July 16th. The event runs through July 14.

Sorry I pasted the whole thing but...
I hope to hell that most was precautionary and overreaction.
Thanks in advance!
