MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Motocross star Andrew McFarlane died from serious head injuries Sunday after crashing during a practice lap at an Australian national championship meeting in Victoria State.
The 33-year-old McFarlane, once the second-ranked rider in the world, was flung from his bike at the State Motorcycle Sports Complex at Broadford during the third round of the MX National Motocross championships. He died at the scene.
Ambulance Victoria spokesman John Mullen said paramedics worked on McFarlane for more than an hour but were unable to revive him.
All racing Sunday was canceled, police said.
