250SX West Division Qualifying Incident Overshadows Timed Sessions
In a dramatic turn during the 250SX West Division timed qualifying session, Cole Davies sustained a serious injury following a crash involving Jordon Smith. After misjudging a rhythm lane, Davies chose to roll over the final jumps, inadvertently leading to a mid-air collision as Smith, who had been trailing, descended. The impact sent Davies flying from his motorcycle.
Emergency medical personnel promptly attended to Davies, who remained motionless at the scene for several minutes before being transported on the Alpinestars Medical Mule. Preliminary reports confirm that he has been admitted to a local hospital with an arm injury. The prognosis is cautiously optimistic given the nature of the accident.
Smith, despite suffering from a bruised back and road rash, has opted to skip the second qualifier but is expected to compete in the main event later in the evening.
This incident adds a layer of tension to the upcoming race as teams assess the implications for both riders. Further updates will follow as more information becomes available on Davies’ condition.
