Cyclist Survives the Nastiest Crash You Can Possibly Imagine
The Tour of Utah is probably not that high up on your list of must-see sporting events, but this crazy video will definitely make you raise your eyebrows.
During the sixth stage of the race on Sunday, Ireland’s Matt Brammeier slammed into a car while approaching a turn.
You can feel the hurt and while not good, the news isn't as bad as you're probably thinking they are, says his team's doctor:
Thankfully, Matt has suffered no head, neck or spinal injuries and is currently stable in hospital. His musculoskeletal injuries are significant however.He suffered rib fractures on both sides as well as a small pneumothorax. He also has fractures of the sacral and pelvic bones. Matt is unlikely to require surgery but will need some time to recover from his injuries.”
