My apologies if people thought what I had relayed from Twitter was 'tasteless'. Not intended. I guess working in a hospital & my trauma background means my take on things like this can be a little skewed :(

I can't edit my post now but I would if I could as I wouldn't wish to offend or upset anybody particularly any of Laura's friends or connections.

I have everything crossed that Laura makes a quick recovery & I'm sending thoughts to her family x

I was at Tweseldown today working and I saw her fall, all I will say is the medic's were very quick to attend to Laura and wishing her a speedy recovery

Fingers crossed its not as bad as it sounds, if she has had an emergency tracheostomy, she would be admitted to ITU as a matter of course. They may also be keeping her under observation in case of head or internal injuries.

I wasn't getting at you, more that someone has posted details of the fall on twitter when they aren't connected to her and didn't actually see it happen. My best friend is Laura's cousin, she is currently in Crete and rang me in a panic having seen what was being posted on twitter but being unable to get hold of a family member, that was why I was slightly tetchy about it, I wasn't getting at you though honestly!

ditto nothing personal but more one of the tweets above is totally contradictory of something said by a witness. Either way details are not required other than she has suffered what sounds to be a horrid rotational, all efforts are best wishing her a speedy recovery :)

Thoughts with Laura and her family at this awful time.

I don't do twitter - please can people keep posting the updates on here? Thanks.

I think I've seen the tweets in question and they were in very poor taste.

I hope Laura makes a full and fast recovery. All my thoughts to her and her connections.

Best wishes and hope for Laura and her friends and family.

I have enjoyed the times I have been able to watch her rides (on the TV) from across the pond. Such a cheerful young lady she seems in her interviews. Brave and talented, (and so young!).

Again, best wishes from so very many of us in the U.S.

I agree, some of the stuff posted on Twitter was unnecessary and intrusive (and obviously completely flipping WRONG)... but, eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable, the brain/memory do strange things in stressful situations.
Sincerely hope that Laura bounces back and makes a full recovery very quickly.

There is a new thread in 'Latest News' where a new forum member has posted the following...

'Just to say I heard Yogi Briesner being interviewed about Laura Collett on BBC Wiltshire Breakfast this morning. He said Laura Collett had a scan last night which was good so far. He also said she was still sedated and that she had broken some ribs and had a punctured lung. Like many others I wish her the very best. A horrid fall. '
