Seattle SX Report: Christian Craig Suffers Hand Injury After Heat Collision
In a dramatic twist during the first 450SX heat at the Seattle Supercross, Christian Craig sustained a hand injury following a collision with Jason Anderson. The incident occurred shortly after the start, where Anderson misjudged his approach, colliding with Justin Hill’s motorcycle.
Anderson elaborated on the crash, stating, “I just ran into Justin Hill’s tire because he had a better start than me. I came in too hot, got off balance, and went through everyone.” The impact sent Craig’s bike airborne, ultimately sidelining him for the remainder of the event.
Later, Craig took to social media to provide an update, revealing, “Fractured a couple fingers and very sore. Going to sit out the rest of the night and try to be back next weekend.” His condition will be closely monitored as he looks to recover ahead of the upcoming races.
The Seattle event highlighted the intense competition and precarious nature of Supercross racing, underscoring the fine line between aggressive strategies and safety. Further updates on Craig’s status are anticipated as the series progresses.
