In some very tragic news, BMX biker TJ Lavin, was put into a medically induced coma on Friday Oct. 15 to reduce swelling in his brain after a tragic bike accident knocked him unconscious during the Dew Tour Event in Las Vegas.
The 33-year old Lavin, who also hosts MTV’s “The Challenge,” was performing a stunt in mid air but his feet seemed to get tangled on the bike pedals and he couldn’t fix it in time causing him to crash head first into the bike track.
When people went to check on Lavin his body was limp and motionless, he was rushed immediately to the local hospital were the doctors had to put him into a coma to help prevent his brain from swelling even more.
