ENSENADA, Mexico (KGTV) — A San Diego dirt bike racer is recovering tonight in Mexico after a bizarre mid-race crash with a mystery SUV.
On Saturday morning, about 60 miles southeast of Ensenada, 29-year-old Josear Carrasco was racing a course he knew well. On this day, he would not
finish.
"Just devastated. It's really hard. He's my everything, so it's hard to see him like this," said his wife, Kylie.
Kylie was in a truck along the course when she got the news. Josear was in second place, nearly done with his 100-mile stretch and about to turn his
bike over to a teammate. That's when he says he collided with an SUV that had driven onto the course, headed toward him.

Yep, racing in Mexico. We came over a rise one night during the 1000 and as we crested there was an F150 pointed right at us lights on full. Managed
to steer slightly to the right but the car scraped down the whole side of his truck. Had he been 2 or 3 feet more in the race course our race would
have been over and maybe worse.

I hate it when this happens. I wish him the very best, my thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

The picture of the bike makes my blood run cold. Bottom of the triple clamp shattered, top of the right fork leg shattered, exhaust pipe ripped off at
the barrel and wrapped around the kick starter. That was one heck of an impact. He will most definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
