Poway, Ca (March 26, 2024) – On March 24, 2024, professional racer Clayton Roberts was involved in a serious accident while racing the AMA National Hare & Hound Championship in Murphy, Idaho. Nearly 300 yards off the start, Clayton was ejected from his bike at approximately 70 mph. As a result, Clayton sustained severe injuries including a broken clavicle, multiple broken ribs, and fractures to his T11 and T12 vertebrae, resulting in a severe spinal cord injury.
Following the accident, Clayton underwent emergency surgery at a nearby hospital to address the spinal fractures and stabilize his spine. While the immediate concern is for his spinal cord injury, medical professionals have also identified the potential need for future surgeries to repair his broken clavicle.
