What happened to Miller in Q2?

I haven't read anything, but I'm sure he's not 100% yet. (?)

Just found this




https://www.theguardian.com/sport/picture/2016/sep/03/sport-picture-of-the-day-motogps-jack-miller-hits-the-skids-at-silverstone

Just read that he crashed and didnt get back out. Not good as he was already injured.
