Alex Zanardi Hits Guardrail; Guardrail Probably Lost
Alex Zanardi Hits Guardrail; Guardrail Probably Lost-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:45

Double amputee racing driver, paracyclist and guy who's officially Alex Zanardi accidentally hit a guardrail in training today. Of the two, the guardrail probably lost.

Zanardi posted a photo of the collarbone that smashed into said guardrail on Twitter today:

I mean, look at the guy. Of course the rail was hurt. Zanardi could singlehandedly take on a zombie apocalypse and wipe all the Deadites off the planet in a single brawl.

Given that Zanardi uses his upper body a lot more than most of us to get around, here's hoping for a quick recovery.
