A photographer has been left with a broken neck after a freak accident during the motorcycle speedway race he was covering.
“Things are progressing amazingly well. I am up on my own two feet and everything is beginning to heal fine. The reaction from the speedway family has been truly humbling.”Hill says he’s received hundreds of messages of support and the breaks to his C2 and C3 vertebra will see him wearing a neck bracelet for roughly 12 weeks.
“It was a freak accident so I’m extremely unlucky in that way but I am lucky my injuries are not more serious,” he says. “The immediate actions of our medical team were truly amazing and I can’t thank any of them, or the staff at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, enough.”A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed the incident saying: “Around 20:20 on Friday, August 4, 2023, we received a report of a crash involving a photographer and a speedway bike at Armadale Stadium, Bathgate. A 45-year-old male was injured and remains in hospital.
