Details of the tragic incident are still under investigation. Simoncelli was seen to have fall of his bike (low side). He was then struck by two other racers; Colin Edwards (Monster Tech 3 Yamaha MotoGP) and Valentino Rossi (Ducati Team) which weren’t able to avoid him.

Much speculation surfaces when his AGV helmet came off during the crash. It can vividly been seen from a far. Simoncelli died of chest, head and neck injuries. It was unclear of what had happened that caused the incident, when Simoncelli was leaning hard on his bike, trying to pull it across the track as if he was having steering issues.

Red flag was showed around 3.50 pm (Malaysian time). It was said that the race should be restarted at 4.45 pm, but since the attention was given fullest to Simoncelli, according to Medical Director, Michele Macchiagodena. The race then had to be cancelled since there’s not enough medical personnel to stand by in case of another accident occur.

The 24 years old racer was pronounced died at 4.56 pm after much possible action of resuscitation had been performed.
