Italian motorcycle racer Andrea Antonelli died from injuries he sustained in a crash during a race at Moscow Raceway in Russia on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Kawasaki Go Eleven rider lost control of his bike on the rain-slicked track and crashed during the opening lap of the 2013 Supersport World Championship, Moscow Raceway organizers spokeswoman Tatiana Makhina told The Associated Press. He was then hit by another rider. He died shortly after he was treated by an emergency medical team. Organizers canceled the remaining events, the AP reported.
