Jim Moodie was injured after running into debris from David Jeffries’ fatal crash during practice Thursday at the Isle of Man.

According to a statement issued by Moodie’s ValMoto Triumph team, Moodie crashed while attempting to avoid debris in the road following David Jefferies’ fatal accident.

Moodie crashed “after becoming entangled in telephone lines that were strewn across the ultra-fast Crosby section of the circuit,” read the statement. “Moodie received abrasions to his neck and throat when the cable wrapped around his neck as he swerved to avoid other obstacles. Fortunately he was able to stop his bike in time to avoid serious injury.”

Moodie’s injuries were described as being “not serious” by his team; he was treated and released from a local hospital Thursday.
