Toriano Wilson died from injuries sustained after crashing with two other riders (Luciano Ribodino of Argentina [stable condition] and Garet Tomlinson of Aledo, Texas [uninjured]) at the Virginia International Raceway on Sunday. The 14-year-old was taking part in the Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies Cup series race. According to a race spokesman: "Toriano Wilson, a road racer from Bermuda, fell on the track during the first lap and was accidentally struck by another rider while attempting to get out of the way." He was airlifted to UNC Hospital in North Carolina but later died from his injuries.

Our condolences to his family and all of Bermuda who he represented with pride.
