I heard this at the rider's meeting at the Binghamton Nationals. It sounds like a mini rider was on the track with the big bikes and got landed on after a minor crash. Pretty sad.
This is fron Cycle News:
Eleven-year-old motocrosser Brett Downey, from Canyon Lake, California, passed away yesterday from injuries he sustained while practicing at Glen Helen Raceway. According to witnesses, his motorcycle washed out after exiting a turn and was then struck by another motorcycle. Downey was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Downey competed in the 85cc class and recently finished eighth overall at Loretta Lynn’s and fourth at the Mammoth Mountain Motocross. He is survived by his parents Jim and Kathy Downey, and his sisters Brittany and Brooke.
A memorial is being planned for Downey.
