Terrible accident in Moto GP/ The pilot "flies" on the track, is sent

A horrific accident has occurred in Mugello, Italy, where the Moto GP 3 race took place. A pulmonary contusion, a broken jaw and a damaged spine is the latest bulletin on Pol Espargaro's condition.

With just under a quarter of an hour to go, the Spaniard from the GasGas team crashed onto the track at turn 10, losing control and falling right in front of his engine, then ending up on the side of the track and after a few flips he crashed with the surrounding tires.

Practice for the Portuguese Grand Prix was immediately stopped and doctors airlifted him to hospital. After this terrible accident, Espargaro was conscious the whole time and could move.

 Medical tests have found a trauma to the lungs, a fractured jaw and spine, injuries that will keep him out for a long time.
