Morgan improving after crash

From Dan Paris & Blackfoot Yamaha

Canadian Motocross and snocross star Blair Morgan suffered a substantial injury due to a crash while practicing for last weekend's Montreal Supercross at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

During Saturday afternoon practice he sustained substantial injuries to his middle back. A surgery was performed and went well, however it was soon discovered that as a result of the vertebrae separating from each other on impact, Blair’s spinal cord was severed, leaving him with paralysis from his middle back down.

He was taken off the ventilator soon after surgery and has been progressing well since. On Monday afternoon he was moved out of ICU to the orthopaedic floor and arrangements are now being made for his transfer closer to home.

He is resting now and he is focused on recovering and working closely with the physiotherapists.

Special thanks to everyone for their well wishes.
