Carey Hart's Brother Dies in Crash
The fellow motocross-racing younger brother of Carey Hart passed away
Saturday, after crashing on a Connecticut racetrack during a practice
run.
Following the crash at Stafford Motor Speedway, 21-year-old Anthony
Hart was airlifted to nearby Hartford Hospital, where he was declared
dead a short time later.
According to Connecticut State Troopers, who are awaiting the results
of an autopsy expected to be completed later today, Hart lost control
of his motorcycle and hit the outer track barricade at roughly 3:30
p.m.
Track officials said the younger brother of Pink's ex, known as Tony in
the riding world, was practicing for Doug Henry's New England Grand
Prix, which took place Saturday night.
"It is with deep regret that the Stafford Motor Speedway announced
that, during a practice session...rider Anthony Hart, age 21, of
Henderson, Nev., succumbed to injuries received while participating in
the event," the Speedway said in a statement Saturday night.
"The Speedway extends their condolences to the family and friends of
Anthony Hart."
Hart, who is said to have suffered fatal head injuries in the crash,
was accompanied to the hospital by his father, Tom Hart.
His brother Carey, who has yet to comment on the death, was not present
at the time, but was said to have flown in from Sturgis, S.D., after
hearing of the accident.
