Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Chris Jones, from Bromsgrove, was flown by the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to Hull Royal Infirmary. The Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board, who organised the race, confirmed three riders were injured, with Jones' condition considered as critical.

All of the injured riders were treated first at the scene and then at the circuit medical centre by the British Superbike Championship medical team before being transferred to the nearest appropriate hospitals for their injuries by both ambulances and helicopter.

Carl-Thomas Andrews, also aged 14, from Newark, sustained a right shoulder injury and was transferred by ambulance to Lincoln Hospital.

Jon Vincent (38), from Bickerstaffe, sustained abdominal injuries and was transferred by ambulance to Grimsby Hospital.
