The first race of the Supersport 300 weekend in Portimao was marked by a serious accident, in which one of the title contenders, Victor Steeman, got the worst.
The accident occurred in the early stages of the race and, from what little television images showed (in these cases, the replays are not broadcast), the Dutch driver crashed at turn 14 and was run over by José Luis Perez Gonzalez , which followed him.
The race was stopped immediately with the red flag to allow the 22-year-old to be rescued, who was initially taken to the medical center by ambulance, before being helicopter transported to the hospital in Faro.
The first official information that has arrived speaks of a polytrauma and a head injury. A picture that unfortunately seems rather worrying. Now all we can do is wait and hope that more reassuring news can arrive from the Faro hospital.
