Fountain Hills resident and motor cross rider Kyle Hutcheson was recently in a serious accident at the Pala Raceway in California support from the community is needed to get him home safely.

Hutcheson broke his back during an event and was initially paralyzed. Thanks to the quick thinking of his doctor, Hutcheson underwent a surgery to fuse T3-T10 in his back and has since regained feeling and movement in his extremities.

According to the most recent update, Hutcheson has been suited to a back brace and his goal is to get back to walking ASAP.

In order to return to Arizona, however, he will need an air medical transport so he may begin his acute inpatient rehabilitation.

To help Hutcheson on his road to recovery and take care of medical expenses not covered by insurance, a Go Fund Me page has been established in his honor.

The family welcomes and is grateful for contributions in any amount, which can be made by visiting gofundme.com/kylehutcheson212.

Hutcheson has already seen an outpouring of support, but there’s still room to give in order to help the local family reach its goal and bring Kyle home.
