Tommy Dougherty of the Brown County Fair Association shared on Facebook Tuesday that Matt Buyten, one of the motorcycle stunt riders to perform at the Brown County Rodeo earlier this month, was involved in an accident during a motocross race in Colorado over the weekend.

Buyten sustained serious injuries which have left him paralyzed from the chest down, according to Dougherty’s post.

Buyten made the following Facebook post on Tuesday: “I will be permanently paralyzed from the mid chest down. The procedure was just to put in hardware to stabilize me so I can sit up. I am devastated and way to active of a person to be tied down, not sure how I am going to do that. Mainly pissed off I screwed my family over, can’t play with Jett and do things with him also putting Krystal in a tougher position. Going to have to dig myself out and try. Apparently they have one of the best spinal rehab centers in Lakewood, CO, so I’d like to attend that, it’s a month long program I hear. Huge thanks to all the care, love and support. You guys are amazing!”
