While it seems totally avoidable, collisions between dirt bikes and heavy track equipment seem to happen quite often—it just usually doesn’t involve the stars of the sport. Last weekend in Australia, though, one of their biggest stars, multi-time Champion Matt Moss, collided with a large piece of earth moving machinery on the track during the GoPro Super Pole race. Williams Event Management released the press release below yesterday, and today a video of the incident on Matt Moss’ Instagram account.
As of now, confirmation on Matt’s injuries are hard to find. We have heard he’s going to be okay, but cannot confirm anything yet. We will update you more when we hear more.
You can watch the video below.
