The crash happened when Stewart rolled the triple while Barcia jumped and the two collided on the landing, sending Barcia headfirst into the ground. Both riders are relatively okay, Stewart with a separated shoulder and Barcia with a broken transverse process along with a concussion. All things considered, the injury list is much better than we initially expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/barsh-1.jpg\" alt=\"2026-anaheim-one-supercross-barcia-injury\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"\/>Justin Barcia walked out of the hospital under his own power after a scary crash at the Anaheim 1 season opener. Photos: Octopi Media<\/p>\n<p>Barcia took to social media to provide an update to fans. He says he\u2019s sore but he was able to walk out of the hospital on his own and only broke \u201cone of the wings\u201d on his vertebrae [transverse process]. Barcia was wearing the new Tech Air MX airbag chest protector from Alpinestars and it clearly helped mitigate further injuries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/barsh2.jpg\" alt=\"2026-anaheim-one-supercross-barcia-injury\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"\/>Barcia is bruised up but a concussion and a broken transverse process seem to be his only injuries.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/RS17389.jpg\" alt=\"2026-anaheim-one-supercross-results-stewart\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"\/>Malcolm Stewart suffered a shoulder injury in Saturday night\u2019s crash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst and foremost, sending prayers to the Barcia family,\u201d Stewart said on Instagram. \u201cI\u2019m gutted by how this situation unfolded and truly hope he\u2019s okay.
