The Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix had to be halted Sunday after German driver Sophia Floersch’s car became airborne and slammed into a wall after careening through a catch fence at the end of a straightaway. Two drivers, Floersch and Sho Tusboi were injured along with two photographers and a track marshal.
The race was immediately halted. The stoppage lasted an hour as the barriers were repaired. The FIA released a statement saying Florsch was conscious.
“A serious incident has occurred on Lap 4 of the 2018 FIA F3 World Cup at Macau involving car #25 Sophia Florsch (GER),” the statement read.
“Following evaluation by medical staff, the driver is conscious and has subsequently been taken to hospital for further evaluation. “
The others injured were reported to be in serious condition, but no further updates have been provided.
