American BMX rider Connor Fields had brain hemorrhage, broken rib after Olympics crash

United States BMX rider Connor Fields suffered a broken rib, a bruised lung and underwent tests to determine whether he suffered any brain damage after he crashed at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday, according to USA Today.

He also had a brain hemorrhage, though bleeding in his brain has since stopped and he has been moved out of critical care, according to the Washington Post's Les Carpenter.

Fields was taken off the track on a stretcher after he crashed during a semifinals heat on Friday. The 28-year-old was taken to a local hospital by ambulance.
