EICMA 2011, serious accident to a young Canadian motorcyclist

Drama at the EICMA in Milan, where this morning an accident involved a very young driver originally from Canada. According to what was reported by ANSA, the drama occurred during a performance inside the Fair. The boy involved is said to be 14 years old and has currently been transported to Niguarda Hospital by the 118 air ambulance. Unfortunately, the boy is said to be in a coma.

The accident occurred around 10 am this morning, while qualifying tests for the Supercross Championship were taking place in the MotoLive area. According to those who witnessed the accident, the boy was the victim of a tragic fatality, as he would have lost control of the motorbike without anything particularly significant having happened along the track. The fourteen-year-old slipped and rolled, then remained motionless on the track. The 118 team present on site provided immediate assistance, but his condition immediately appeared serious, to the point where he had to be intubated immediately and transported to the hospital by helicopter.
