Legendary horse trainer Bill Turner left 'fighting for his life' after horrific accident - as his family are left with 'heartbreaking imminent decision'

Legendary horse trainer Bill Turner is reportedly in a critical condition in hospital after an accident. The 78-year-old suffered a fractured skull after falling off a colt at his Dorset yard, according to Sky Sports. His family have reportedly been left with the decision in the next 24 hours as to whether they want to keep his ventilator going. Matt Chapman reported on Sky Sports: 'He had a serious accident at home and it's not good news at all. 'Bill, as everyone knows, is a character, he must be well into his seventies, and he will still ride very, very young horses. 'He was riding a colt yesterday and there was an accident of some sort. 'Bill fell on his head and there was a fracture of his skull. 'That freacture is very, very serious and Bill is on a ventilator right now. 'The situation is such that whatever the outcome is over the next 24 hours, it's not going to be a good one for Bill. 'The family will have to make a decision in the next 24 hours as to whether they want to keep that ventilator going or not. 'Hopefully, as I say these words, everyone in the racing world can just say a little prayer for Bill and his family.'
