The actual event as far as I can work out, was the 'MINITWINS category of the - BMCRC - MRO Championships 2024 - Round 5 held 6th Jul - 7th Jul 2024 at Cadwell. (The British Motor Cycle Racing Club, is known as BMCRC or "Bemsee" }.

It seems no one was badly injured. I found this from one of the competitor Team websites. websites....
Leigh #293
Leigh’s main class is the MRO Minitwin class, he also races in Thunderbike Sport alongside Matt for extra track time and experience, cherry-picking which races he starts – why risk a race in a monsoon for a race in a class that’s not your main focus? Leigh raced in the first of the Thunderbike Sport races on Sunday getting 8th position, he was a DNF in the second (wet) race of Sunday, deciding after three laps not to risk a wet race for a secondary class.

In Minitwins, Leigh qualified 20th in wet conditions on Saturday, finishing his first (split finish) race 12th, race 2 original start was marred by a serious incident on lap one, resulting in 11 bikes in a pile-up and follow-on collisions at the Mountain, luckily, Leigh was not involved in the incident and was able to swerve through the carnage. The incident took a good while to clear up, and was re-run as an 8 lap race on Sunday afternoon with a very empty grid, a dry race with Leigh bringing home 7th. It is understood that despite the serious nature of the incident that thankfully no-one was seriously injured.
