Guerrero sustained head injuries and fractures to his left leg after crashing with a truck while driving a motorcycle in the streets of El Guamo, a city located around 160 kilometres to the southwest of the capital, Bogota.
The 19-year-old Colombian was taken to a local hospital where he required surgery on Friday night because neurological tests showed structural changes to his brain. Doctors were still determining whether Guerrero had suffered any brain damage from the crash.
Russell Eacott, boss of Guerrero's T-Sport team in Britain, said: "Having spoken to the Guerrero family I know that Steven is receiving the best possible medical attention and my thoughts and prayers, and those of the entire team at T-Sport, are with him and his family at this difficult time."
Guerrero was due to compete in a karting event during the weekend before returning to Europe to test in preparation for a second season in the British Formula 3, moving up to the Championship Class.
This season was Guerrero's third in cars after racing two years in Formula BMW in North America. He finished second in this year in the British F3 National Class standings with T-Sport, claiming victories at Thruxton and Brands Hatch.
