We first heard this news last week but waited until today to post it - it has already appeared on the BTA website.

Paula Craig of the Met Police Triathlon Club, was seriously injured last week whilst out training in the Milton Keynes area on her bike. Paula was struck by a car, which is believed to have been travelling at 65 MPH and which then failed to stop. It is understood that her injuries are serious and that she may be left permanently disabled. She is expected to remain in hospital for some time. The report on the BTA website says that the police later stopped a vehicle in connection with the accident and were believed to be interviewing an elderly gentleman who was driving the vehicle at the time.

Our thoughts go out to Paula and her family and we'll keep you posted with the latest news as we get it.
