Man, some guys have all the luck and some guys, well, are named Chris Alldredge. Chris has had a rough go of it since turning pro, and after his brutal crash tonight at the 2017 Seattle SX, it looks like the #58 will have a long road back to health.

During the one ten-minute qualifying session in Seattle, Chris went down in a rhythm section and was plowed into by Shane McElrath. We were told by the team that Chris went to the hospital complaining of lower back pain, but once there, it sounds like he was feeling pain all over.

Chris sent out an update on Twitter that says he suffered “Lower Lumbar Spine Fracture in L1, L2, L3, and L4, Partial Collapsed Lung, Grade 1 Liver Laceration, Adrenal Gland laceration. Fractured 10th Rib and a Fractured Pelvis.” Chris also went on to say, “I’ll be here in Harbor View Hospital until Monday.”

That is a huge list of injuries, but when you see the crash, it is easy to see why. We are just happy to hear that the Oregonian will be okay and we wish Chris a speedy recovery.

Check out video of the crash and Chris’ Twitter updates below. Warning, it is a tough one to watch.
