For those that can't access facebook the latest update on Kyle is as follows. All we can do is keep fingers crossed for a full and speedy recovery I guess.



'Hi all, thanks for your messages of support for Kyle. Right at the moment he is in Wellington hospital ICU in an induced coma as he has a head injury with bleeding on the brain. The coma let's his brain and body rest to help reduce the swelling of the brain. Until we have spoken to the doctors we don't know anymore than that. However he is stable and comfortable'

biggsy was meaning the Canterbury Crushers Stockcar team.

Hope Kyle fully recovers & races again. Only met him once or twice when down here for North v's South Stockcar teams meeting & found him to be a real nice & polite guy.

Wishing kyle a speedy recovery. Thoughts to his family and friends too.

[Stevo]

All thoughts and wishes to Kyle for a full and speedy recovery, all support to family and friends.

Crushers is the Stockcar Team, Glen Eagles are the Superstock team - he was injured in his stockcar... not the super.

From the Wanganui Warriors FB page:

Many of you will have heard that Kyle Heibner had a nasty and unfortunate accident at Oceanview last night. There are all sorts of rumours and speculation about. But Kyle's girlfriend Anneliese has posted the following on Facebook:

"As some of you may already know Kyle is in an induced coma in icu. Has a small bleed in his brain so the coma is allowing his body to rest to help reduce the swelling but he's stable and comfortable. He has been transferred to Wellington hospital so he's in the best hands! Once again I'm truly overwhelmed by all the messages myself and the family have received. Kyle has some truly amazing friends/supporters out there and I can't thank anyone enough for all their help they've offered. Updates will follow when more information is known but in the meantime please respect our privacy."


We take this opportunity to add our thoughts and prayers to the many already expressed in support of Kyle, his parents, Anneliese, and Kyle's many speedway friends. This will be our only comment at this time, and we urge everyone to please respect the family's wish for privacy at an incredibly difficult time.

Thanks (or no thanks) to social media, news travels fast, especially bad news. But it isn't always accurate, and Chinese Whispers can easily take hold. We understand that people want to know about Kyle, but we will be respecting the family's desire for privacy, and will only pass on information which comes from them.
