The 27-year-old Levine has helped Britain win eight world and European 4x400m relay medals, including gold at the 2014 European championships and 2013 European indoor championships. A British Athletics spokesman said: “Regretfully we can confirm that James Ellington and Nigel Levine have sustained injuries following a road accident in Tenerife. We will not be releasing further information on the severity of their injuries at the present time.”
