This is such a tragedy…
Amelia Kotze, a 15-year-old dirt bike racing star from Australia, has sadly passed away in a fatal crash. The announcement was sadly made by Motorcycling New South Wales, the teen’s organization, who revealed on Saturday there was a crash during the Central Coast Cup. Aussie news sites reported first responders were on scene at Allen Park Track in Somersby after the young girl sustained “life-threatening injuries” during the race. She was air lifted to a Children’s Hospital in Sydney… but sadly succumbed to her injuries in the ICU on Tuesday.
So, so heartbreaking.
