A collision involving a cart carrying Noah Lyles and his opponents in the 200-metre semi-finals at the world athletics<\/a> championships sent glass shards flying into the right eye of Jamaica's Andrew Hudson, forcing him to race with blurred vision.<\/p>\n

An aerial video taken outside the stadium shows the cart carrying the athletes cruising down a path to bring the athletes to the warm-up room near the track. An oncoming cart hits the athletes' cart and a volunteer tumbles out of the first cart.<\/p>\n

The video then shifts to inside the cart where Hudson is pressing his fingers against his right eye. He was cleared to compete, but after finishing fifth, said he couldn't really see.<\/p>\n

"I can\u2019t see out of my right eye, but I\u2019m OK," Hudson said after the race. \u201cThe doctor flushed out some shards of glass.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said he was heading back to the medical room to make sure there wasn't any further damage. World Athletics said the volunteer was \u201cfine".<\/p>\n

Lyles won the race in 19.76 seconds to make the final, where he'll try to defend his 200-metre title and add it to the 100 he won earlier this week. Alexander Ogando of the Dominican Republic finished second.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a big fright,\u201d said Tarsis Orogot, who finished third. \u201cWe\u2019re not paying attention. We were all just locked in and then out of nowhere, someone shoved into us there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lyles race was supposed to be the first of the night's three semi-finals, but ended up running last, about a half hour after it had been scheduled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what happened. It\u2019s a blur, literally,\u201d Hudson said. \u201cThe race was a blur. My eyesight is a blur. I\u2019m going to go make sure my eyesight is OK.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
