Honda's Miguel DuHamel was transported to the hospital after a very gnarly turn 12 crash about twenty minutes ago at the Road Atlanta test. His condition is unknown.
Turn 12 is the very fast right-hander going down the hill and leading onto the front straight.

Knowledgeable sources say that Miguel DuHamel, injured in a crash in Road Atlanta's turn 12 this afternoon, was conscious after the massive crash.
DuHamel was transported to a local hospital after the crash.
Update: DuHamel is beat up, sore and swollen but seems to be fully functional other than a really swollen ankle. The x-ray and CT scan technicians are said to already be rolling their eyes at DuHamel's usual onslaught of "humor", comments and observations.
DuHamel Has Severe Internal Injuries

After his CT scans and x-rays came back and were examined by medical professionals it was learned that Miguel DuHamel has suffered a lacerated liver, a perforated lung and a bruised lung in his Road Atlanta crash today.
Clearly the lacerated liver is the most troubling of the three injuries although none of them are to be taken lightly.
A lacerated liver can be fatal if untreated and can take an extended amount of time to fully heal. In many cases doctors will not allow someone with this condition to perform any activity where further trauma is possible.
Persons at the scene of the crash said that DuHamel experienced some sort of trouble near the top of the turn 12 hill and soon after the bike went completely sideways and impacted the turn 12 wall, which had tires, straw bales and airfence in front of it.
DuHamel's Honda CBR1000RR was destroyed in the crash which took place on a very hot day in Georgia. Thermometers were cranking all the way to 106 degrees at the track today.
More updates when info breaks.

Yea I doubt that too, he's still competitive and that guy doesn't give up for anything. I wonder if they'll put Neil Hodges on the bike while he's healing up. Since they were testing him out in Laguna it seems like the obvious choice.

Hmmmm.....that sounds like it make sense. On a side note, I saw where Neil will most likely get the Ten Kate WSBK ride that James Toseland is vacating to go to the Yamaha MotoGP Team for next year.
