Driver and four marshals injured in violent Spa crash

Lamborghini Super Trofeo driver Fredrik Blomstedt and four marshals were injured in a violent crash during a race supporting this weekend’s 24 Hours of Spa.

All received medical treatment. Blomstedt and one marshal were taken to hospital. However all five are understood not to have suffered any life-threatening injuries.

Blomstedt, who was leading at the time of the crash, tangled with a group of cars he was lapping and suffered a heavy front-on impact with a barrier behind which a group of marshals were standing.

The race, which was the series’ second event of the weekend, was immediately red-flagged afterwards. Activity at the track was suspended for 90 minutes while the crash scene at marshal post 12 approaching the Fagnes corner was attended to.
