Lindsey Vonn smacked her head.
Vonn went to hospital for a CT scan after today (Feb. 2) taking a spectacular crash while training GS in Hintereit. The World Cup schedule has the women racing at Arber-Zweisel for a slalom and GS.
Vonn posted on her Facebook page: “I had a pretty scarey crash today training GS in Hinrereit, Austria. I hot my head pretty hard and had to go to the hospital to get a CT scan. Luckily the scan showed no major injuries! I will be very sore tomorrow but should be fine in a few days. I will have to see how I feel and play it by ear for the upcoming races …this weekend in Zweisel, Germany. Here is video of the crash. xo LV”
