New Berlin, NY (7/30/06) - Jeremiah Jones headed to Unadilla for weekend of racing with high hopes for a chance at the ATVA National Motocross Championship, but sadly, he was involved in a horrific crash in the first turn of the second Moto, which left him with a broken back and no feeling below the waist.

Jeremiah Jones was rushed to the Baptist Trauma Center in Cooperstown, NY, and it has been determined that his back in the T10-T12 region was damaged, which resulted in some spinal cord damage as well. As a result, Jeremiah underwent surgery on Monday, July 31st to repair the damaged vertebrate and determine the extent of the damage to his spinal cord.

Unfortunately, his spinal cord was found to be seriously damaged. As of now, the odds are not in favor of Jeremiah ever walking again, but as anyone who has been fortunate enough to know and meet Jeremiah will tell you, he will give it everything in his power to overcome this hurdle.

The surgeons applied a bone graph and screws to Jeremiah’s damaged vertebrate, which has set the stage for the healing process to begin.
