Further to that news it is sad to say that the co-driver died shortly after being taken to hospital.

 

It was my friend barry Clark who was driving the car that hit him.

Thoughts go out to all involved,another sad day for the boys in JWRC.

Car No. 54 went off the road, but the crew was uninjured. The co-driver, Mr. Jorg Bastuck, was standing beside the car changing a wheel but was then struck by car No. 53, who went off the road at the same place.

Action has been taken with the rescue services and the doctor on board. Mr Bastuck has been evacuated by means of a medical helicopter to the hospital in a serious condition.

I read about this on one of the news sites and thought at the time "bet somebody in the SIDC knows him". Absolute nightmare. One of those freak accidents that sadly happen.
