Police to examine a fatal crash at British Superbikes' Oulton Park Round

The police examine the death of two motorcyclists after an accident with 11 bicycles in the opening round of a British super sports championship race on Monday in Oulton Park.

This was the severity of the accident and the level of medical intervention that the rest of the meeting – the opening round of the British Superbike championship season – was abandoned.

The crash occurred at the outcome of the Old Hall Corner in the first round when a bike was high at the output corch and the drivers could not take any evasion right behind.

The 21 -year -old Rapid Honda Rider Owen Jenner from Crowborough, East Sussex, was treated at the crime scene and moved to the Medical Center of Oulton Park, where he was declared dead according to a explanation of the Circuit Operator Motorsport Vision.

The 29 -year -old Astro Suzuki driver Shane Richardson from Wainuiomata in New Zealand received serious breast injuries and died despite the treatment at the crime scene on the way to the Royal Stoke University Hospital.

The 47 -year -old privateer Tom Tunstall was also taken to the hospital, with MSV called “significant back and belly injuries”. Five other drivers – Freddie Barnes, Cameron Hall, Carl Harris, Morgan McLaren -wood and Max Morgan – were brought to the medical center of the route with injuries, for which no hospital treatment was required.

Supersport is the category directly under the super bikes in the production motorcycle racing line, so that engines between 400 ccm and one liter on a Slids scale depend on the number of cylinders.

The most important difference between the two categories is that Supersport bikes are less coordinated and contain more standard production components.

“The police investigated two deaths on behalf of the forensic doctor after a multiple collision in Oulton Park this afternoon,” said the Cheshire police in a statement.

“After the collision, emergency services were called to the scene, which caused two drivers to be fatally injured, and another with serious injuries.”

The Rapid Honda team said in a explanation: “Our deepest condolences are based on families, friends and teams from Owen in this unimaginably difficult time and that of Shane Richardson, who unfortunately lost his life.

“Our thoughts are also at Tom Tunstall and his family because he continues to receive medical care. It is an enormous loss of the entire motorsport community to lose two talented drivers.”

Hippo, sponsor of the Astro Suzuki team, said: “As he was like that Shane won friends with everyone he met – always inviting and paid his undivided attention. He brought a love of his sport into life so that everyone could see.”
