9-year-old motocross rider Brooke Carlton died in a “curious accident” | SportsTalk 790

Brooke Carlton was competing at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park when she was struck by another teen driver just before 10 a.m. local time, her family and officials said. The child was unconscious and was cared for by good Samaritans before emergency responders arrived at the scene and took her to Inland Valley Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 11:24 a.m., the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a news release.

The other child involved in the crash was also treated at the scene for minor injuries, the department confirmed. Carlton’s parents and family friends announced her death on a GoFundMe page.

“Yesterday the good Lord called dear Brook Lily to heaven after a freak accident on a local motocross track,” Jason And Angie Carlton wrote. “Our whole family is still trying to understand why our Brookie, but we firmly believe that God needed her and called her to be with Him.”

Carlton was a representative for motorsports clothing brand Go Fast Girls and was quoted on her profile page on the company’s website as saying she loved “being on the track, competing with other girls and going fast.”
