The Toyota Redlands BarX Yamaha team announced on Tuesday that Dilan Schwartz suffered a broken rib and two broken vertebrae in his crash during 250SX qualifying at round 4 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross in Houston, TX, on Saturday.
Schwartz went down hard in the second session and the session was red flagged as he received medical attention from the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit.
Per the team, Schwartz never lost any feeling nor movement and his prognosis for a return to action is positive considering the frightening nature of his injuries.
“It’s a huge bummer for Dilan and the team, to lose our most experienced rider and the camaraderie that he and his teammates had built this season,” said team manager Bradley Taft. “The good news is it’s a best case scenario given the severity of his injuries. He will most likely only miss the next two races [before the West Division break] and then he could potentially be back for the East/West Showdown in Birmingham in March.”
Through four rounds, Schwartz has been steady, going 10-9-11 to begin the year.
