Former GP star Kevin Magee’s 19-year-old nephew, Liam Magee, was killed at South Australia’s Mallala Raceway on Saturday during qualifying for Round Three of the Shell Advance Australian Superbike Championship.

Reports indicate Magee’s Suzuki GSX-R1000 left black tire marks on the track at the point it left the circuit.

Magee was speared head-first into an UNPROTECTED (unpadded) concrete wall. He suffered massive, head, neck and spinal injuries.
