ON THE MEND

ANDREW SHORT INJURED

Former professional supercross/motocross and Rally racer Andrew Short suffered a serious injury on Sunday, according to an Instagram post by his wife, Jacki.

According to his wife’s post, Short and his family attended the Houston Supercross on Saturday but was injured riding on Sunday.

“We had a blast at the Houston Supercross yesterday, seeing all our friends. It was great to catch up and visit. Taking Hudson and Emma to the track walk was a highlight for Andrew. Hudson still thinks he can jump the finish line on an 85. Unfortunately today Andrew lost the front end under braking and had a big slam. T 7,8,9 are shattered, one broken rib and bruised lungs. We’re extremely blessed and very thankful he has feeling in his legs and hands. I’m extremely thankful for the friends that helped him get to the hospital and take care of Hudson and continue to show him a great time. He has surgery in the morning, it does sound more complicated than initially thought. We appreciate all the prayers! It been a while since 29 has been hurt.

I’ll update again tomorrow,

Jacki”

With surgery Andrew is on the mend, we’ll keep you posted as more info comes.
