Bataleon team rider Mitch Brown was in a motorcycle accident this past Saturday morning in Wanaka, New Zealand.

Report says:
He suffered facial injuries, broke his clavicle bone, fractured ribs and has suspected internal injuries after he collided with a powerpole on the terrace, Mr Johnston said.

Brown was flown by helicopter to Dunedin Hospital where he was admitted to the intensive care unit because of the internal injuries, he said.

"He was not going super fast but he did lose control and he was not wearing a helmet."
