Mike Brown Injured
M
otocross legend Mike Brown was injured
in a crash while practicing earlier this
month. The 53-year-old sustained several
serious injuries, including a concussion, a
broken neck, a mini stroke (TIA), and a swol-
len artery due to bone trauma. All of these
required immediate attention, and Brown
underwent cervical spine surgery on June 5,
during which a screw was placed in the C1
vertebra, along with metal plates on C5 and
C7. He is currently recovering but continues
to experience symptoms related to his inju
-
ries, including neurological and vascular com-
plications. While long-term recovery will depend on
the progress of neurological and physical therapy,
doctors remain cautiously optimistic.
"I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my
entire Triumph Racing team for their unwavering
support from day one," Brown added. "I'm espe
-
cially grateful to my manager, Jeremy [Coker],
for standing by my side and ensuring that every
medical decision was handled swiftly and with
care. I owe a huge thank you to Dr. Ifeanyi N. Nze-
gwu for the successful surgery and outstanding
care. I'm truly grateful for his attention, support,
and expertise every step of the way. To my family
and friends—thank you for your constant love,
strength, and encouragement during this difficult
time. Your support means everything."
