Casey Johnson has collapsed lung, compressed vertebrae
Yesterday's Glen Helen 125 National started off like a dream for recently signed Team SoBe Suzuki rider Casey Johnson. Johnson, who was brought on this week to replace injured 125cc-class regulars Branden Jesseman and Danny Smith, got a great start in the first moto and led the first two laps. Unfortunately, it all went bad moments later. Johnson got off hard on the gnarly Glen Helen course and ended up in an ambulance. According to his friend Mike Brandes (7-5 for fifth overall in the 125 class), Johnson will be out for a while. Brandes, who went to see Johnson the hospital after the race, told our friend TFS that Casey has a collapsed lung and compressed vertebrae. He will be out indefinitely.
Johnson had been signed by Roger DeCoster to ride at least the first five rounds of the 2003 AMA/Chevy Trucks U.S. National Motocross Championships.
