Doctors have commented on the nature of the sports injury that led to the death of a cricket player in Sydney. Peter Brukner, the team doctor of the Australian national squad, said the incident in which a ball struck the neck of 25-year-old Phillip Hughes and split his vertebral artery was "incredibly rare". The victim suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage and died in St Vincent’s Hospital despite having been resuscitated at the scene of the accident. Brukner said the hospital staff and the paramedics attending did a very good job under the circumstances
