Leighton Lillie crashed during practice for Saturday night's AMA National Arenacross Series race in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and suffered fractures to the T6 and T7 vertebras. According to a report by Shan Moore first posted on Cycle News, Lillie was transported to St. Johns Hospital in Tula and initially had little to no feeling below the waist, but doctors were optimistic after tests this morning showed that his spinal cord was not severed in the accident and that the nerves in his legs reacted to stimulus.
