Former double IndyCar Champion and Grand Prix driver Alex Zanardi has reportedly been involved in a serious accident during a hand bike race in Italy.
Media reports have suggested that the four-time Paralympic gold medal winner and all round motorsport superstar Alex Zanardi has sustained serious injuries following an accident while racing his hand bike in the he province of Siena on Friday. Of the few reports available at present, Zanardi apparently had to be airlifted to hospital after an accident involving a lorry on the 146 state highway near Pienza.
Of the little information available at present, apparently Zanardi is being treated at the Le Scotte di Siena hospital, and has been classified as a code 3, which the reports consider to be known as serious.
Very little news in the English media is available at present, and I for one hope and pray this is just an over exaggeration, however once more news is available I will update this post.
