I just got done speaking to Angela Holliday, who was at Albany Med... Dustin is on life support and they will be running test on Monday. As soon as I have more information, I will put up another post. Please stop all the rumors.

I think it was the pile up in the open am class group A moto at unidillia. I didn't see the crash because i was in the moto but from what I hear two riders got tangled up in the air off of the spectator jump (the one right next to the anoucer tower.) They red flaged the race. Then when i was leaveing i seen the helicoper in the feild where the pros park.
I don't know if this was the kid in that moto or not maybe someone can confirm.

He was practicing. He was not at Unadilla. Dustin is a Quad Expert rider.

dustin watson #4x or #132 raced quad expert in district 3 and royal in the weds night series i just got back from seeing him...not good,terrible to see a good friend in that condition, hopefully he can pull through but its not looking good,he has severe head trauma broken ribs and several other injuries minor in comparison to the head trauma, apparently there is no brain activity, like was said they performed other tests that should tell them more,there is a possibility if they dont pick up brain activity and there is no improvemnt he will be taken off life support, he was practicing at eagle bridge , came up short in a timing section and the quad and him tangled a few times as they flipped.....
one question id like to ask is WTF kind of facility charges you $30 to ride but doesnt have a ambulance on site????ridiculous they should shut the place down if thats how they do business.....
BTW as was said ,stop spreading rumors, ive heard numerous times hes already died and all kind of nonsense
keep him in your prayers

Just Got Home From the hospital and being by dustins side for a little while.. dustin is a very tough kid if anyone can pull through this it would be him.. was talking to his moms boyfriend(james) he personally told me they are not gunna take him off life support for months atleast..
As for what happened he came up short on a double the quad went up into the air and came down and landed on top of him.. james said he did have his helmet on but it was ripped off at some point through the crash they dont know if it was before the quad landed on him or after the quad landed on him and ripped it off
Complete respect goes out to the friend he was with that was riding with him, when he arrived at dustin side while at track dustin was not breathing and no piulse. the friend performed CPR(he took classes and was certified) which gained dustin pulse back and kept dustin in hope and still here..
Dustins mom said to me as i walked out "make sure you keep him in our prayers and hopefully he will be back with us soon" there was many friends and family there and to be honest she was the strongest person there taking it moment by moment..
Full Thoughts and prayers go out to the watson family and hope we will all be joined by dustin soon!!
