Cooper Webb crashed on the first lap of Heat 1 in the Nashville round 15th of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross and suffered an injury that required him to be transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
On Sunday morning, Webb announced on Twitter he will not be able to return during the 2023 Supercross season.
“As many of you saw, I suffered a concussion last night in Nashville,” Webb wrote. “I am thankful that everything else has checked out okay. This will unfortunately put an end to my SX season. It hurts to have it end like this, but I can hold my head high knowing I gave it my all.”
Webb was hit by Adam Cianciarulo, whose Kawasaki ran over Webb’s helmet with hard contact at speed. Webb was helped to the Alpinestars medical cart and was sitting up as they entered the tunnel. He hugged his KTM team members and father before being put on a stretcher that was loaded into an ambulance for the trip to the hospital.
