International speedway has again been hit by a serious accident.

Sunday collided swedes Kim Nilsson and Linus Sundström during a race in the Polish Gdansk in a mindesløb for the now deceased speedwaytræner Henryk Zyto, and while Nilsson got off lightly, it was soon clear that the Sundström was far worse included.

In the first place, he was admitted to the local hospital with fractures of the femur and arm, but since it emerged that the situation is far more serious.

– Linus Sundström is fighting for his life in hospital in Piekary Slaskie. His biggest problem is not the broken bones – but complicated internal injuries and a head trauma, writes Sundströms club, PGG ROW Rybnik, in a press release.

To write, that already at the first hospitalization was evidence of ’serious internal injuries, which directly threatens his life’, as the club puts it, without, however, elaborate on what exactly is wrong with the Sundström.

Therefore, he was transferred to another hospital where he now lies in the intensive care unit.

According to the sportowefakty.wp.pl is his condition critical, and there awaits more surgeries ahead.

Linus Sundström does not belong to the world’s top league but have made themselves noticed on the biggest stage, when he in 2015 won the World Cup for teams in las vegas with Antonio Lindbäck, Andreas Jonsson and Fredrik Lindgren – incidentally, in front of Denmark.
