Broken bone in the spine, but no paralysis so far. She was lucky. Very lucky. Unbelievably lucky. Usually one would expect her to be flat as a pan cake now.
Sophia Floersch, 17, GER.
She was conscious and reacted and could talk after the accident.
She also already tweeted from hospital.
That corner is at the end of a very long straight and is driven in second gear. Other footage from different camera angle, where she shot through the air like a cannonball, gave me the idea that she got on the curbs on the right before the turn and there might have lost grip, control, or touched the wall already there.
I know the track from simulator. Its not that difficult a corner, I wonder what has happened earlier that she took off like this. Openwheelers, maybe braking wrong and rolling over the wheel of the car in front of her.
