Italian rider Marco Simoncelli has died after a horrific crash at the Malaysian MotoGP in Sepang.
This fatal crash accident in Motogp also happened last year at around the same month to Japanese racer, Showa Tomizawa...
The race in Sepang was stopped on lap two when Simoncelli's bike veered across the track at turn 11 into the path of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
The 24-year-old had his helmet knocked off and was hit by both other riders. American rider Edwards also fell and dislocated his shoulder - while Simoncelli's fellow Italian Rossi was able to return to the pits.
Simoncelli lay motionless on the track after the impact, while the race was immediately red-flagged. Medical director Michele Macchiagodena said Simoncelli suffered a "very serious trauma to the head, to the neck and the chest".
The race was cancelled amid confusion in the grandstand, with fans throwing bottles to show their initial displeasure.
