David Jeffries Killed

29 05 2003

I’ve just found out from the BBC Sports page that biking star David Jeffries was killed in an accident today in the Isle of Man, and Jim Moodie was seriously injured in the same crash :(

Isle of Man TT star David Jefferies has been killed in an accident during a practice session for this year’s races.

Fellow rider Jim Moodie was seriously injured in the same incident, which happened near the village of Crosby.

Jefferies, who was 30, was one of the most successful racers on the island’s Mountain Course.

He had been entered in four races at this year’s TT, riding for the TAS Suzuki team and was gunning for a fourth consecutive treble.

It was a very sad day for all involved. I am interested in any updates on this incident. I would especially like to know the results of the inquiry that was launched immediately after the crash. Let me know if you hear anything.
