I don't know Franco, but it is so sad that these tragedies can still happen in rallying. His friends and family should be proud of his courage as a rally driver - it isn't safe and requires a lot of skill and courage. RIP Franco and all the best to his family and friends.

Really sad news
The car doesn't look extremely damaged. For sure the driver's compartment is untouched. It reminds me a bit a crash of Aghini when his co-driver died few years a go. They say Franco died later in hospital, so it probably wasn't because of broken neck (a question of using HANS), so probably some internal injury, maybe not enough fastened seat belts. For sure strange...

Bad news. He was not only a co-driver, but also a great cyclist. R.I.P. Franco.
