Anybody here from Turkey (or Belgium) who can give an update on the condition of the Belgian spectator who was hit by Sousa on SS 10?

Anybody here from Turkey (or Belgium) who can give an update on the condition of the Belgian spectator who was hit by Sousa on SS 10?

And anyone can explain how exactly the accident happened?

Story in UK motorsport press says a marshal asked the guy to move three times and he refused subsequently getting hit by Sousa.

The worst thing about that is that the driver will still feel responsible.

Don't think he was hit by the car, but a big stone that came flying when Sousa went off.

That is right, he was hit by a stone that was projected by Sousa's car. But the driver saw it happening in his mirror, and decided to stop for that day, because he was to much in shock due to what happened, alltough it was not his fault offcourse.

I also received the press release from Red Bull, that's why we want to know the explanation from somone who was there, and we know that some people were at the place of the accident.

The Red Bull press release in fact stated that Sousa "drove over a stone that flew and hit a spectator". That, as eyewitnesses can tell, is absolute b***. Whether it was on purpose or the RB press people just don't know what's happening inside their team is open to speculation.

The organizers press release, stating "Sousa hit a spectator", is closer to the truth, even when it somehow played down the injuries by mentioning "a broken leg and suspected head trauma".

Was the spectator asked to move a number of times?
