Tech3 👍Moto3 rider Deniz Oncu and twin brother Can were both fortunate to escape serious injury in a majo𒉰r road traffic accident in Turkey.

The pair, plus a friend who was driving, were all sitting in the front of a van as they made their way to a training session at Kenan Sofuoglu's track ꦆwhen they were hit head-on by a lorry travelling in the opposite direction that appears to𒈔 have crossed into their lane.

Although the van was practically destroyed, none of the trio suffered serious harm and 💎while Kawasaki Puccetti WSS rider (and former Moto3 race winner) Can suffered deep♎ cuts to his right arm, all were discharged from hospital within a few hours and are now recuperating at Sofuoglu’s home.

"I was informed by Kenan immediately after the accident and a few hours later I spoke with Can and saw him over a video cal🦋l. It was a real miracle," said Can's team principal Manuel Puccetti.

"Our rider is calm now b💃ut shaken up about what happened of course. I was able to get a smile out of him by telling him that it’s 🅘as if he won a world championship today, and from April we will try to help him win another.

"It’s incredible that no one was hurt. The van was destroyed in the impact with a lorry that was travelling in the opposite direction, but that invaded the lane the brothers and their friend were 🦄in.

"A bad episode that will luckil🅷y sort itself out with jusꦬt a few weeks of convalescence”.
