Moto3 crash involving two riders: emergency medical care, their conditions

Moments of great fear and apprehension erupted in Sepang during the Moto3 motorcycle racing season following a serious accident that occurred on the formation lap, delaying the start of the race by nearly two hours. A violent collision involved Spaniard José Antonio Rueda and Swiss Noah Dettwiler.

The first driver hit the second, who was traveling at a slow speed at the time, and both were thrown to the ground following the impact. A helicopter also arrived on the runway to quickly transport them to the hospital. According to reports, one of them "will require multiple surgeries."

Accident at Sepang, very serious collision between two motorcycles: the riders' conditions

The race started significantly late and with a shortened course of ten laps: Japanese rider Tayo Furusato triumphed, ahead of Spaniard Angel Piqueras. Luca Lunetta was the best of the Italians, finishing eleventh. But everyone's thoughts, both on the track and in the crowd and paddock, were with the two riders involved in the serious accident in Malaysia during the sighting lap. These involved Swiss rider Noah Dettwiler and newly crowned world champion José Antonio Rueda. Updates on their conditions were received following their transport to the hospital.

Regarding the causes of the accident, it is believed to have been caused by a misunderstanding. Dettwiler was checking for a possible technical problem and was therefore traveling at a slow speed on the straight between the third and fourth brake lines. Although Piqueras reported the incident, Rueda failed to realize the situation and collided with Dettwiler at high speed.
