HANS Andersen has escaped a serious neck injury following his crash against Belle Vue last night.
Pirates' Danish star suffered a spill during heat four of the 47-43 defeat at Wimborne Road, although he carried on to complete five rides.
Skipper Andersen subsequently had the injury scanned in hospital, which showed he had avoided a fracture.
Due to sit out Lejonen's trip to Piraterna in the Swedish top flight tonight, Andersen hopes to return for Region Varde's visit to Fjelsted in the Danish League on Friday.
