Christian Martinez, a motocross rider participating in the North American International Motorcycle Supershow in Mississauga, was rushed to the hospital after executing a big jump during the show, a source tells CP24.
PR representative Colleen McCourt could not confirm Martinez’s diagnosis, but tells CP24 he was “alert and conscious” when paramedics took him to the hospital.
Peel Regional Police say they were called to the area of Airport Road and Derry Road East for a single-vehicle collision just before 12:30 p.m. The 49th annual motorcycle show is currently taking place at The International Centre, a conference building located I that area.
According to Martinez’s website, he has been riding dirt bikes since he was 14 years old and has been jumping ramps since 2007 and has been doing freestyle motocross (FMX) tricks since 2015.
