KTM Factory motorcycle racer Kurt Caselli was killed last night as he was racing in the 2013 edition of the Baja 1000. At this point, details are scarce, but sources claim that he crashed after hitting a man-made booby trap and later died from severe head trauma after being moved to the nearest hospital.
The 30-year-old American is a three-time Hare & Hounds champion, a winner of the Desafio Ruta 40 Rally in Argentina, a competitor at Dakar, and was running near to or at the lead throughout the Baja 1000.
