King's Lynn's Thomas Jorgensen faces around three months in a neck brace.

It's after a crash at Edinburgh on Friday.

He fell in Heat 4 of the Cab Direct Championship fixture for Berwick and was taken to hospital on a spinal board with back complaints and internal pain.

The Dane was examined over the weekend, and now faces the end of his season after it was confirmed he suffered two broken vertebrae, which will also necessitate the fitting of a back brace.

The Stars say no surgery is required, as his injuries should heal naturally.
