Colin Edwards: "God speed my friend"

Colin Edwards together with Valentino Rossi were the riders who unavoidably collided against Marco Simoncelli on Sunday as the Gresini rider slid out desperatly trying to save his Honda as he did dozens of times before.
Edwards is suffering a dislocated shoulder and apparently numerous other fractures from the horrific and tragic crash and this is understandably the Texas Tornado’s first comment on the tragic event from his Facebook page:“Thanks to everyone for ur support at this time 🙁 Very sad to see a friend pass in any case.

I’m holding up ok mentally, it was a very tragic accident 🙁 Physically, besides a dislocated shoulder & ligaments involved, think both wrists & left heel have fractures too, getting X-rays on Wednesday.
I feel sad for the whole MotoGP community right now, my heart is heavy for everyone affected, from family to fans.

God speed my friend, u will be missed.
