Racer Matt Mingay has been seriously injured in a crash overnight during a Stadium Super Trucks support race at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, Michigan.

Mingay was transported to DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital where he is currently listed as being in serious condition, but is stable at this time, according to a hospital spokesperson.

It is understood that he has suffered facial injuries as a result of the crash.

Competing in his second race for the weekend, Mingay’s truck was overturned on the third lap. The race was subsequently suspended after a lengthy delay due to the incident.
