His wife Shelley posted an update on his condition on Facebook stating: ‘Following Tony’s off in the warm up lap on Tuesday, we wanted to let everyone know that he’s “okay” and very very lucky to still be here.
‘The injuries we know of so far are: Broken jaw; broken teeth; broken shoulder; broken vertebrae; fluid on the lungs; multiple rib fractures; lacerated kidney; compound fractures to the left leg; both ankles shattered; ligament damage to the legs.
‘It’s gonna be a long, long road to recovery but we’ll get there.’
Shelley also thanked people for their numerous messages of support.
