I'm out standing by the ambulance with Andrews in it. Regal seems very concerned. Trent and Brookside the same. Mark's eyes were open

He got hit by one of AOP and went down holding his neck. Rolled to the floor right after.

People please don't be blaming AOP. Accidents happen. And you never really know how
