A devastating single-car rollover crash at a Queensland Raceway event has left a driver fighting for his life.
The incident occurred Friday evening in Willowbank during a high-speed driving event for modified vehicles. Horrifying footage shows a 1973 Holden Torana swerving and flipping multiple times, ejecting both the driver and passenger.
The 45-year-old driver was hospitalized in critical condition after being flung from the wreckage. His 33-year-old passenger also sustained serious trauma. Paramedics commended the quick response of on-site medics and first responders.
Organizers said the four-day event would continue this weekend despite the terrible crash. In a statement, they expressed well wishes for those injured during the fateful cruising session.
While the circumstances surrounding the rollover remain under investigation, the crash elicits cringes from all who value controlled yet safe racing environments. Officials will now probe what went awry in such devastating fashion on the track.
The tight-knit racing community sends hopes for a full recovery to the two men hospitalized. But they know such events pose inherent risks that can materialize in mere seconds with tiny miscalculations.
