Many of you witnessed the terrible crash in the over 30 class last Saturday night at the colleseum. The guy that got hurt is the cousin of WEMC members, Zak, Connie and Mark Cockerham. Ronald Joe Nelson was the riders name that was injured and the following is from Connie
My husband Mark Cockerham and son Zac have been members now for the past 1 1/2 years. We are pretty new to this site though.
I was hoping you or maybe another member could possibly help us. This past saturday night at the Motorcross races at HOT, our cousin Ronald Joe Nelson was the one who had the bad accident in the 30 and over class. He hit a jump and lost it somehow, which caused him to fly really high in the air and he had to push the bike away. Anyway, we thought maybe someone that was there might have a video of him and his freefall. He will be ok, after numerous surgeries. He ended up with a broke and split right femur, crushed heel, broke ankle, all right leg. His left fibia and tibia were also broken. He has a long road of recovery but think overall he will be ok. If you could pass this info around.
Thank you for your time.
