Young rider Shreyas Hareesh dies in racing incident
Copparam Shreyas Hareesh, a 13-year-old promising rider from Bengaluru, succumbed to injuries he suffered following a crash in the third round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2023 at the Madras International Circuit here on Saturday.
The incident occurred soon after the start of the Rookie race for which he had qualified in pole position this morning. Exiting turn one, Shreyas fell following a crash and suffered a grievous head injury.
The race was red-flagged immediately, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital in a trauma care ambulance stationed at the track.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. His father, Copparam Hareesh, was at his bedside.
This is the second fatality at the Madras International Circuit this year after 59-year-old K.E. Kumar died in a Saloon Car racing accident in January.
Born on July 26, 2010, Shreyas, a student of Kensri School in Bengaluru, had won several races at the National-level, including four in a row, competing in the Rookie category of the Petronas TVS One-Make Championship this season.
MMSC president Ajit Thomas said, “It is tragic to have lost a rider so young and talented. Shreyas, who was making waves with his prodigious racing talent, was provided medical assistance on the spot immediately after the incident and taken to the hospital.
