Thanks to Tamara for an update on the outcome of that nasty accident at Sunday's CEV 125cc race at Jerez.
She's found this report from Associated Press...
Axel Pons of Pons-Aprilia fractured both bones in his lower left leg and was taken to the Puerta del Mar hospital in Cadiz, track officials said in a statement.
Pons fell... and was trying to move off the track when he was hit by other motorcycles.
Team Machado rider Carlos Ferrando broke his left thigh bone and was taken to the SAS hospital in Jerez.
Team KTM rider Edgar Garcia and Josep Rodriguez of TMR had shoulder injuries in the same incident but did not require hospital treatment.
It looked a shocker of an incident; those sound pretty serious injuries - so let's hope these guys are on the mend soon.

i feel so bad for axel pons, i think he had some more wildcards for the world championship this year and right now it doesn't look like he'll be fully fit until then. i hope he can recover quickly and be completely well again soon. also the other riders who were injured in the accident.
i watched the video again and the first time i didn't even realize how bad it was - the following rider basically drove directly into axel! o_O that was truly a horrible accident, one of the worst i've ever seen, and i really don't wanna see that again. :(
