In the how many more terrible things can happen to him category, 12-time world handbike champion, 4-time Paralympic gold medalist, former dominator of CART, and all around inspirational guy Alex Zanardi is in serious but stable condition after an accident with a truck during a handbike race in Italy.

He had to have 3 hours of brain surgery and his neurological state won’t be known until he wakes up. Everyone is hoping for the best, but it’s apparently a very marginal thing right now.

No word on the condition of the truck, but I assume it was totaled by Zanardi’s awesomeness.

IIRC, at least initially, your headline is backwards. He crossed the line and hit the truck.

Good to know! The BBC article didn’t have the specifics of what happened. I was just surprised to not see it on Jalopnik.
