A 70-year-old man has been injured in an incident at a road race in Skerries in Dublin.

It happened when 3 motorbikes collided at around 5pm this evening and burning petrol from the bikes engulfed the spectator.

The man was rushed to Beaumont Hospital where he's being treated for his injuries.

i hope all is ok

latest, the guy is stable, think 2 bikes, not 3 bikes involved, both riders suffered minor injuries, ie most seriousd, broken collarbone

crazy times...apparently the tank of johnstons bike burst on impact showering the old man in petrol and then he caught fire...only heard that through the grapevine, but if its true, well talk about freak accidents

The spectator has been named as Milton Thom and may be known to some of you.
My thought are with his family and friends.

He is someone who has done a great deal for racing, and I am sure we would all wish him a speedy recovery.
