KTM racer Jack Miller admitted that he was lucky to survive after experiencing a horror accident at the 2024 Malaysia MotoGP race at the Sepang Circuit, Sunday (3/11).
The 2024 Malaysian MotoGP race experienced a red flag and was temporarily stopped after Miller, Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo were involved in a serious accident at the corner of the first two laps.
The incident started when Binder hit one of the racers and the front of his motorbike was damaged. The racer from South Africa immediately nudged Quartararo who was on his left. Quartararo then nudged Miller.
Miller finally fell. The Australian racer’s head then entered Quartararo’s rear tire, which eventually bounced off and hit Binder. All three racers eventually crashed.
Quartararo also felt something blocking his rear tire and was then surprised to find it was Miller’s head.
Even though he was involved in a horror accident, Miller was conscious after the incident. Not long ago, the former Ducati racer was seen walking in the paddock. KTM then decided that Miller and Binder would not continue racing.
For the first time, Miller commented on the horror accident at the 2024 Malaysia MotoGP. The 29-year-old racer admitted that he was lucky to survive and not suffer serious injuries.
“Lucky to escape the incident today. Thank you to everyone for the kind messages. Thank you to Alpinestars for keeping me safe,” wrote Miller
KTM also said that Miller and Binder were lucky that they were not seriously injured. KTM stated that the incident on the first lap of the 2024 Malaysia MotoGP was a reminder of how dangerous MotoGP racing is for racers.
“Today was a clear reminder of the risks our drivers face every time they are on the grid. Both Binder and Miller were involved in serious incidents on the first lap, but we are very grateful that they are both OK and survived the crash relatively unscathed injury.”
“Moments like this remind us of the strength and resilience in this sport. Now, the focus is on recovery and preparing for the end of the season. We are grateful for every message and support,” wrote KTM.
