19-year-old American Ezra Caudell in hospital with 'multi-system trauma' after Philadelphia Classic crash

American cyclist Ezra Caudell, a 19-year-old pro with Modern Adventure, is currently hospitalized after sustaining "multi-system trauma" in a crash during the Philadelphia Cycling Classic on Sunday. The incident occurred around halfway through the one-day race when Caudell collided with Milan Menten (Lotto Intermarché), causing him to lose consciousness.

However, he regained consciousness before being taken to the hospital. Modern Adventure released a statement on Tuesday, three days after the crash, confirming Caudell's hospitalization and active recovery for his injuries. The phrase "multi-system trauma" encompasses injuries affecting two or more organ systems, including the nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, digestive, and renal and urinary systems.

While the extent of Caudell's injuries has not been specified, he remains hospitalized and receiving medical attention.
