Doriano Romboni, an formerly renowned Italian motorcycle racer, died after falling from his bike and being struck by another racer on Saturday in Italy, according to recent reports.
Romboni was reportedly flown via helicopter to a hospital south of Rome following the crash.
Attending an event in memory of fellow Italian racer Marco Simoncelli, the 44-year-old had last raced professionally in 1998. During his nine year Grand Prix career Romboni included six victories, and 22 trips to the podium.
Romboni rode for Honda, Aprilia, and MuZ at the 125cc, 250cc, and 500cc levels.
What looks to be a photo of the incident can be viewed here at Italian newspaper Il Messaggero.
The video below shows the same picture of what is supposedly Romboni lying on the track, and later a picture of paramedics attending to him.
