Trombino breaks leg in crash

By John Hopkins

TORONTO, ON -- Frank Trombino reportedly suffered a compound fracture of his lower leg in a high speed crash at Nelson Ledges last weekend.

According to Jeff Bloor of Cyclemax, who said he had spoken to Trombino since the incident, the Kleinburg, ON racer was resting comfortably in hospital in Warren, OH and was scheduled to have surgery on the leg, which was broken just above the ankle, today (Tuesday).

Bloor said the accident was caused by a rear tire blowout on Trombino's bike, but it was undetermined what had led to the failure.

Trombino was taking part in a WERA event at the track.
