She is undergoing surgery since 9 hours now. 7th neck vertebra is broken. No paralysis, the medulla is intact.


An oiltanker's load of luck she had.


Apparently she chased the car in front of her, probably slippstreaming, on the long straight before that turn. The car braked unusually early and surprised her, she rolled onto it's back wheel, turned, slid across the tarmc, then the rubber suasage in the curbs disconnectd the car from the ground, where there used to be downforce now turned into lift, and so....

How fast was she going? The car was flying over and passing those on the ground at a very high rate of speed!

Glad she is ok!!

Even when they stay on the ground and lose traction it's amazing how much speed they carry over the cars that can brake.
