GUERNSEY’S 10-year-old daredevil girl motocross rider Chloe MacDonald got back on her bike for the last race of the UK Girls’ Nationals after being taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg from a horrifying crash earlier in the day.

Held at Foxholes near Salisbury at the weekend, the competition featured the best riders from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England and The Netherlands.

MacDonald was in ninth place in the Inter 85cc class when she collided with the rider in front of her during the fifth and penultimate race.

The Vale Junior School pupil was thrown from her bike and was given morphine and oxygen by the attending ambulance crew who thought she had broken her right leg.  She was rushed to hospital where X-rays showed that she had no broken bones, but instead a badly bruised right thigh.

Amazingly, after being released from hospital, the brave MacDonald got straight back into the thick of things in the final event.
