Overview
- Dettori was driving on the A1304 near Six Mile Bottom when another vehicle struck the rear passenger side of his car, causing it to spin and flip on Wednesday evening.
- H Talent Management said he was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital and found to have sustained several broken ribs and a broken thumb and that his injuries are still being assessed.
- Emergency services sent two ambulances and an ambulance officer vehicle to the scene and transported two people to hospital while Cambridgeshire Police opened a traffic-related investigation with no arrests reported.
- Dettori and his representatives have thanked medical staff and supporters and asked for privacy as he rests and recovers, with his planned one-off ride at the Leger Legends charity race in September now in doubt.
- The crash has drawn wider attention because Dettori is one of racing’s best-known figures and because he survived a 2000 Newmarket plane crash, a detail reporters have used to place his current condition in context.
