Motocross: Blair Morgan Suffers Broken Back bmrt.com

Blair Morgan, a star in the daredevil sports of snocross and motocross, suffered a broken back and severed spine in a motorcycle accident at a competition over the weekend, his team manager said Monday.

Dean Thompson, manager of the Blackfoot team, said Morgan’s life is not in danger but the veteran racer from Prince Albert, Sask., was paralyzed from the chest down.

Thompson said Morgan’s chances of recovering enough to perform again are “probably less than one per cent.”

The accident occurred on a jump during practice for the Supercross, which drew a crowd of 40,000.

He added that Morgan “knows what happened, he has full control of his mental capacities.”
