AutoTrader.com/JGR Suzuki’s Kyle Cunningham announced on social media yesterday that he underwent tests on his kidney and spleen following a first moto crash at round two of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross at Glen Helen on Saturday and everything checked out okay.
Cunningham was taken to a local hospital on Saturday due concerns he may have sustained injuries to his kidney or spleen. In his announcement on Instagram, Cunningham says he does have a hematoma in the area and possibly some cartilage damage. He also says he has “some ribs out of place.”
He said he’d undergo therapy this week in hopes of returning to action this weekend at Thunder Valley. We’ll update his status for round three later this week. You can read his full statement below.
Just wanted to give everyone an update after yesterday. After a crash in Moto 1 and the bike hitting me in my back left side I was rushed to the hospital with Doc being concerned about my kidney and spleen. Luckily after all of the tests both are ok. I have a hematoma in that area and probably some cartilage damage along with some ribs out of place. I'm pretty sore today but hoping to have therapy done this week and be racing at Colorado. At this point I'm not sure if that will happen but I'm going to do everything in my power to make that possible! Thank you to everyone for all of the love and text messages checking on me
