Jake Weimer Injury Update
Jean Turner | March 23, 2015
Jake Weimer underwent surgery today in Detroit to repair a broken right humerus.
Team Tedder/Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jake Weimer was carted off the track at the Detroit Supercross following a grisy crash with Trey Canard. Weimer was knocked to the ground after Canard accidentally landed on him, and while both riders were injured in the crash, it was obvious that Weimer received the brunt of the impact. After Canard’s front wheel hit Weimer in the upper-back/right shoulder area, his jersey was torn from his body. The extent of his injuries wasn’t immediately clear, but it has since been revealed that Weimer suffered a broken humerus (upper arm bone).
Sources at Kawasaki say that Weimer has remained in Detroit following the accident, where he underwent surgery to repair the broken humerus today (Monday, March 23). Weimer is planning to return to California after he is released from the hospital in Detroit.
