graz gp 184 Posted May 31, 2018 Massive crash between Barker and Parkinson Blackburn. Don't really know what happened it looked like Barker lost control of the bike or something went wrong with the bike.It happened coming onto the straight in heat13, Blackburn to close ran straight into Barker, bikes and bodies all over. Blackburn dislocated shoulder. Barker looked to come off with a lot more than that. Put on a backboard and neck brace, i saw him put in the city ambulance and he was on oxygen. but fingers crossed it looked worse than it really was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will need assessing but the spinal board was a precaution, team boss Jitendra Duffill reported he had not lost feeling anywhere.

OdsalBoy 181 Posted June 1, 2018 Horrible looking crash, wishing a speedy recovery for both riders. Wonder how the Bears will lineup for tonight's clash ? Well done to Jordan Stewart who looked the part and showed a liking for the fast Owlerton track. Anyone reckon team changes could be happening soon for the Tigers ?

Charlieboy 412 Posted June 1, 2018 Nasty crash Barker seemed to lose control and turned left in front of Jack who had nowhere to go. Hope both lads have a speedy recovery.Redcar had quite a few falls last night and seem to be having a season like we had not too long ago.Does Jans loan finish tonight?
