Herlings injured

Jeez thats not good

Hope he recovers in time for Loket!

Fuck! So weird when riders get injured in a non mx related incident

Shit. That`s not good. Hope he`s good for Loket.

Get well soon Jeffrey.

get well soon, senor herlings

Not bad, just dumb.

At least there were no major injuries, hopefully just a minor concussion and he recovers fast.

@Crashnburn, should've maybe kept that one to yourself...

Sorry to hear that. It's a crazy dangerous world out there. Best of luck to Jeffrey on a quick recovery.

Thats bad news, hopefully he heals up quickly!! Never want to see any talent get hurt let alone the top talent.

After seeing all the internet videos of driving in Russia... No way I'd ride in any vehicle there.

Yeah, it's bad.

2mins 51 to 3.02s. Is that Friese driving?

With the police they have , you have to. It`s the evidence in case of accident. If you don`t have such evidence and hit somebody who`s somebody you`re screwed.

GoPro should support Mikailhov, then !!!

Man!!! And i thought driving in Paris was dangerous. Those drivers are just crazy.

Does vodka come out of faucets there instead of tap water?

If you want a laugh, look for the Russian bungee jumping video.

If you read the rest of the article I think Jeffrey had some "luck" to only have a concussion. The other passangers had a artery bleeding and one of them a broken leg....

Jeffrey just tweeted this:

Hey Guys, Finally got home of à terrible nightmare, Just à quick update. Sunday went Great with 1-1.. Then on our way to the hotel we got in à very big car accident. Me, Ruben, everyone knows Johnny V and Some friend. Our big Luck was That me and Ruben was on The back seats. I was KO for à several of seconds.. Monday KTM and Stefan Everts' & Pit Beirer made work of all the shit what happend.. By getting me and Rubs on à private yet from Moscow back home! Only option to go home was with à doctor because I had à little fracturen in à bone in front of my Brian which heals in 7-10days normally. Otherwise i had to stay 7-10 more Days in Moscow !! From now on i'll be af the doctor everyday to get healed up asap to hopefully be riding beginning of next week again!! Big thanks for all THE support I been getting. Especially à big thanks to Pit Beirer, Stefan Everts' and Ruben for being there for me 100% and all the KTM Crew !! Just so u Guys have à update.. Ps. Because I lost both of my IPhone's with the accident, I cant be on twitter for a wilde because i forgot the password.. Stupid, I know:-P. Thanks Guys!

Wow,glad they're all ok,strange and spooky, Stefan Everts tweeted this a couple of days before:


You don't want to be in this one!!

It has been quite a year for Herlings off the track. Hope he gets better soon and can race in Loket.

Just the couple minutes I watched of that were I think the greatest couple minute display of dumbassery I've ever seen...

I watched qiute a lot of that and thought the same but I'm pretty sure that just about any "accident" anywhere in the world would look just as stupid too. Every "accident" is at least one person's balls-up!

2,000 road deaths in Britain in 2010 ( the lowest for many years) lot's of stupid people here too.

Which bone is fractured. It`s not scull, is it?

No, Brian.

NOTES:

Over 90% of the world's fatalities on the roads occur in low-income and middle-income countries, which have only 48% of the world's registered vehicles.

N.B. Where there's blame, there's a claim!

Check out India and China! Car ownership per head of population is pretty low there, which make their number even more incredible!
