A scary moment in the Snocross races happened when Dylan Moss crashed and his snowmobile appeared to hit him as it turned over. He was conscious and helped away from the course by paramedics after a couple minutes. He likely broke a collarbone, those attending to him said, but appeared to be OK otherwise.
