BSB Superstock rider Callum Grigor was “touch and go” after his Donington Park crash that left him hospitalised in September.

The Scottish rider crashed at the final corner at Donington during the BSB rfound there on 5–7 September, hitting Nathan Harrison who was also hospitalised.

Weeks after the crash it was revealed by the data logger on Grigor’s bike that he had been applying brake pressure to avoid the crash, but a brake failure meant he could not stop.

Grigor is now recovering at home in Glasgow, but was in a coma for 17 days after the crash. Harrison was also in hospital for an extended period but was able to return home to the Isle of Man in September.

In a new video posted by Grigor, he revealed that he suffered a cardiac arrest in the crash and had to be resuscitated by the BSB doctors present.

“I suffered a cardiac arrest due to the knock to the head and my spinal cord being crushed,” he said.

“And [I] was given CPR to restart my heart by the doctors - the BSB doctors - who were there.

“Undoubtedly, I was saved by the response of the BSB medical team, which I will be forever grateful for.

“And I was extremely fortunate enough to meet many of the BSB medical team and thank them personally for saving my life when Hannah [my partner] and I went to the final round of the championship at Brands Hatch.”

Grigor went on to list his extensive injuries: “So, in total I've suffered a broken hand, a broken wrist, a broken shoulder, a broken shoulder blade; I’ve broken my collarbone, five ribs – one of which is classed as severely deformed.

“I had three [broken] vertebrae in my back as well.

“On top of that, I've also got some nerve damage in my arm and hand from all the injuries, and on the left hand side, as well as all the internal injuries… like both lungs collapsed, one was punctured, and then I had a bleed on the brain as well because of the crash.

“Some days in the hospital it was really, really, very much touch and go.

“And one of those days to this day is still known as ‘the Monday’ – just ‘the Monday’ – that’s when people know what you’re talking about.”

Grigor added that he is “making progress every single day”, though is “still struggling to walk any distance really”.

He also admits he is not sure if he will race again, but “once I’m further down the line, and then when I’m fit again, we’ll make that decision when it’s possible”.
