The Illinois State Police continue to investigate the accident that killed the former UFC champion Matt hugs, who remains in a delicate condition in the hospital. Last Friday, the former fighter drove his truck along a trail and collided with the train. He fell into a coma, but should be questioned as soon as his health improves.

The concern of investigators and doctors caring for Hughes is that any questioning will not stress him, so he should not be called in until he has completely improved.

“He is obviously in a state that does not allow him to give details of what happened. The investigation will continue, and there is no end date. The police will want to interview you as soon as the doctors assure you that this will be possible, guaranteeing the necessary security so that Matt hugs do not suffer any shock or worsening of your condition”, commented Jason Bradley, public relations for the Illinois police, to the North American website MMA Junkie.

UFC Champion on two occasions, Matt hugs was the first fighter to win Georges St Pierre, when he regained the welterweight title with a victory over the Canadian, which would give him payback on two other occasions. Hughes also has victories over other sports icons such as B.J. Penn e Royce gracie.
