Overview

  • Dettwiler’s team and family said he underwent multiple successful surgeries and remains in a hospital in Kuala Lumpur in a stable but still critical condition.
  • Statements from the team and family confirmed he suffered multiple cardiac arrests on track, received resuscitation, was intubated, and was airlifted by medical helicopter.
  • The crash occurred on the formation lap at Sepang’s Turn 3 when José Antonio Rueda struck Dettwiler from behind, sending both riders to the ground.
  • Rueda is awake with a serious concussion and a fractured right hand, and he is expected to be discharged soon to travel to Barcelona for surgery.
  • The incident delayed the Moto3 race by more than an hour and forty minutes and shortened it from 15 to 10 laps due to temporary unavailability of medical helicopters, and Dettwiler’s team requested privacy as updates continue.
