The accident happened two weeks ago during a training on a kart track on Bosstraat in Swalmen. The seven-year-old driver was seriously injured.
Sid suffered internal head injuries and facial injuries, among other things. He underwent multiple surgeries in recent times, but the situation remained critical, his family wrote on social media.
The driver died on Sunday afternoon. “Sid fought like a lion. We fought with him until the last minute with everything we had. The doctors and nurses did what they could.”
The seven-year-old rider from Staphorst became Dutch champion in the minibike junior A class at the beginning of October. He is the nephew of professional motorcycle racer Collin Veijer (19). He came third in the Moto3 class in 2024.
