The Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship is pleased to confirm that GP Bikes Pro Superbike competitor #814 Connor Campbell has been discharged from hospital and is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries suffered in a Friday morning crash.
Campbell crashed in a single-bike incident during the P1 practice session on Friday at RAD Torque Raceway, causing a red flag stoppage. Following trackside assistance from official series doctor Ryan Burrill and on-site medical staff, Campbell was immediately transferred to the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton.
At the authorization of Campbell, his family, and the B&T MacFarlane Kawasaki team, the series can confirm four non-displaced fractured vertebrae in his back and a broken tailbone were suffered in the incident. Campbell remained conscious while trackside.
The Edwards, Ontario native is thankfully expected to make a full recovery and was released from hospital overnight.
The reigning Pro Rookie of the Year, Campbell had recently taken a career-best sixth-place finish in Atlantic Motorsport Park and currently sits ninth in the overall GP Bikes Pro Superbike standings.
Series staff would like to wish Connor a full and speedy recovery from his injuries.
