Adam returns after head is run over!

BRAVE Brit Adam Roynon could resume his racing career just a month after having his head run over in a horror crash at Coventry.

It was the latest serious injury for the bionic rider that includes a broken back, broken neck, both arms, legs and ankles plus a broken collarbone!
Roynon, 24, laid unconscious on the track for 40 minutes after falling and being run over in his club’s Good Friday clash against Birmingham.
He was treated for more than an hour before being transferred to hospital where the trauma team had been put on alert.
But he is back home now and could be racing in two weeks.
Roynon, who rides for the Coventry Bees in the Elite League and Leicester in the Premier, admitted: “I don’t remember anything about the crash. Josh Auty unfortunately ran over my head. It was unavoidable.
“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I remember going out to start the race and that’s all. I have just come out of hospital after being kept in for 10 days for observation.
“I am still suffering with headaches and double vision, but it’s good to be home and now I’m itching to go racing again.”
Roynon, who made his first appearance for Great Britain last year, added: “I have been racing eight years.
“But I have broken my neck, back, both my arms, my left femur, my right leg, my ankle twice, suffered a broken collarbone and now had my head run over!”
In 2009, Roynon crashed at King’s Lynn’s Norfolk Arena, suffering a blood clot in his brain and a bust leg.
Initially his survival chances were rated at just 50-50.
But his recovery amazed doctors who allowed him to leave hospital 11 days later wearing a halo brace.
Roynon said: “I always seem to come back well from knocks. I hope I’ve got all my bad injuries out of the way.
“I never think of doing something else, working behind a desk is not me.
“Winning races on a speedway track is my drug.
“I feel more sorry for my girlfriend, Krista, who has been through hell when I suffer all these injuries. But quitting racing is not an option.”
Bees team boss and former world champion Gary Havelock said: “It was awful.
“Josh was trying to go round Adam and he couldn’t miss him. I am relieved that Adam is recovering well. He’s a great lad — one of the bravest.
