Simon Andrews has undergone surgery on his leg following his high-speed accident during the second British Superbike Championship ra🐭ce at Snetterton.
Steve Brogan and Andrews crashed on oil spilt by an engine fa꧑ilure on Alex Lowes's MSS Colchester Kawasaki, the former suffering a shoulder injury and the latter receiving a serious leg break.
Admitted to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, Andrews went under the knife to clean the injured area and ♕to insert an external frame to stabilise the fractures in the lower leg.
According to Andrews's father Stuart on the official British Superbike website, Andrews will ✤now need to undergo reconstructive surgery to replace four inches of missing bone with bone from his hip, followed by plastic surgery to cover it up.
Howe🔯ver, he also confirmed that Andrews has feeling in the leg and movement in hi🥀s toes.
The spectacular accident, which occurred at Riches on lap eight of the second race, would see both b𝐆ikes - the PR Kawasaki and the Jentin Honda - launched over the barriers.
