Guerrero suffered head injuries on November 14 last year when he crashed with a truck while riding a motorcycle in the city of El Guamo, southeast of Bogota, Colombia. Since then his recovery has been slow, regaining minimum consciousness in January.
After a few weeks of further complications, the 19-year-old has made noticeable improvements, showing increasing signs of recovery which have finally allowed him to be transferred from the Clinica del Country to a rehabilitation clinic, where he has already started an intensive physical and psychological treatment.
"Although Steven has minimum consciousness, he establishes sporadic contact with his environment," said Dr. Remberto Burgos about Guerrero's progress. "He responds to some stimulus and occasionally expresses gestures of either satisfaction or pain.
"His systems are working well and all the complications have been overcome. We're very satisfied because he has responded well to different treatments, given the severity of his trauma and his initial neurological diagnosis."
Guerrero will spend the next few months in the Clinica Universitaria Teleton, north of Bogota, where doctors expect to help speed up his recovery.
The Bogota native was set to compete this year in the British F3 International class for T-Sport after finishing second in the National class last year for the same squad.
