wow. that's really frightening. Not to point at anyone, but what the hell is the corner worker doing out on the track when the bikes are at full speed? One can only assume it was a blind turn or over a crest of a hill?
Godspeed to them both.

My heart goes out to all involved. Very sad. And so many questions I'm asking myself on this.
