Maria Costello was taking part in qualifying on Tuesday of last week when the crash occurred. The 52-year-old British rider was described as 'serious but stable' after the incident. She was initially transported to Noble’s Hospital by Airmed for assessment and treatment before subsequently being transferred to Walton Hospital.
In a GoFundMe post, the full extent of Costello's injuries have been revealed. She is currently paralyzed from T5/T6 downward, suffered a spinal fracture (vertebrae T5 and T6), an arm fracture, multiple rib fractures, a Grade 4 liver laceration, a nasal fracture, and orbital fracture.
