An 18-year-old Welsh man, Dyfan Hughes, is in hospital in China after being injured in a crash during a long-distance charity bike ride. Reports say he suffers head, neck and leg injuries and is receiving treatment in a Chinese hospital.

Hughes is travelling as part of an extraordinary ride from Wrexham to Thailand, covering about 6,000 miles. He is making the journey with two friends, combining the trip with a charity effort.

The sources provide consistent details about the crash and the injuries, but they mainly differ in emphasis and wording. All accounts describe the same overall scenario: a British teenager on a multi-country cycling challenge who crashes and is taken to medical care in China.
