Nicky Hayden𓃲 has escaped serious injury during a dramatic accident in Sunday's Aragon MotoGP.

The factory Ducati star speared off-track through𒊎 the fast final turn at the end of lap two. Unable to slow doꦏwn in the run-off area, the American then slammed into an advertising board.

The force of the impact launched Hayden o🎉ver the top of the tyre barrier and 🍃onto an access road.

Hayden was initially transported to the circuit medical c🌃entre and then to the Hospital de Alca?iz for precautionary checks.

The #69, who suffered a concussion and fractured hand at Ind💧ianapoli🌞s, has now been released and plans to compete in the forthcoming Japanese Grand Prix from October 12-14.

"I was trying to keep the group in front of me in sight, but I pushed the front in the last turn," Hayden explained. "I was able to p𒊎ickᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ it up, but I came up on that wall really fast.

"I thought I might hit it headfirst if I jumped off, so I let go right before impact. I'm sorry to tear up the bike, but I'm thankful for great safety eq𓃲uipment and to be okay.🐬"

Team-mate Valentino Rossi, who ran off-track on the ♔opening l꧂ap, recovered to finish eighth.

"Obviously, we could 🍸have done without the two off-track excurs🤡ions, but fortunately for Nicky the worse outcome was a bad scare for us all," said team manager Vittoriano Guareschi.
