Josh Hansen has today released a statement to explain that he will be unable to compete at X Games this weekend.

Hansen was involved in a road traffic collision on the morning of May 22 near his home in Temecula, California. The multi-time X Games Gold medalist was on his way to Pala Motocross Park to continue his preparations for X Games when the driver of the other vehicle crossed over into his lane striking his vehicle head on, the statement explains.

#100 was transported to a nearby hospital and eventually released. He is home healing from his injuries and under current medical care that has not released him to ride in the competition.
