The 24-year-old was trying to avoid other riders who fell in front of him on the track during qualifying for the scratch race but, as he swerved on the raised part of the track, he snagged the wheel of another bike and flew into the stands.
Witnesses said a man was treated for a cut arm and a young girl for unspecified injuries.
Qualifying was halted after the accident, which involved a total of eight riders, and the public asked to leave the velodrome.
Another British rider, Matt Bostock, also affected in the crash, was taken to hospital with head and shoulder injuries.
Canadian Mathias Guillemette was disqualified for causing the first crash.
