Per an update on the Dakar Rally live feed, Price’s fall happened several kilometers away from the end of today’s Stage 4 in Tupiza. Price was airlifted to the hospital following the fall.

Once again, Dakar proves itself to be one of the toughest, most dangerous rallies on the planet, with even those favored to win suffering the same risks and setbacks as everyone else.
