Crum refused to apologise to the rider and said that it wasn’t entirely his fault. He, however, apologized to the pillion rider. In an interview, Crum showed a spider bit on his leg which, according to him, caused him to lose control of his car. He also added that had Sanders been not overtaking his car in the no-pass zone, the accident wouldn’t have happened.
