These Saturday night injury reports are becoming far too common. Tonight during Tyla Rattray’s heat race at the Oakland Supercross, he went down hard and was carried off the track on a stretcher. To see the crash on video click here.

Early reports were that the former MX2 World Champion had suffered a concussion, but it was later discovered that Tyla sustained a fracture to his C-7 in his neck. Tyla released these Tweets updating his condition.

We will post updates here as they come in.
