Jeremiah Jones Seriously Injured, Spinal Surgery Scheduled for Monday

New Berlin, NY (7/30/06) - Jeremiah Jones headed into this 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 Bassett 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 will undergo surgery on Monday, July 31st at Noon to repair the damaged vertebrate and determine the extent of the damage to his spinal cord.

At this point, the probably of Jeremiah ever racing or even walking again are very grim, but not without hope. The Jones family are calling for our prayers for Jeremiah as it is right now his best chance for a miracle.

I have been in constant communication with the Suzuki team, and as more details become available tomorrow after the surgery, I will post an update on his condition. Until then, my request to everyone is just take a moment of their time and pray for one of the nicest guys to ever race an ATV, Jeremiah Jones because he needs them now more than ever.
