Le Mans 24 hour: Horrible Crash

Toyota driver and Sky Sports F1 commentator Anthony Davidson broke two vertebrae in a horrific crash at Le Mans. 

The horror images of the crash.

The Brit had just begun his first stint in his Toyota, and was pushing hard to try and gain time on the cars in front of him. Whilst trying to gain this time, Perrazi crashed into the back of the Toyota, and the car flew into the air, flipped, and was lucky for the car to land on its wheels, otherwise it could have ended up a lot worse. The car, still at very high speed, crashed into the barrier. 

Perazzi, in the Ferrari, was lapped by Davidson, and unfortunately made contact with Davidson's Toyota. 

To begin with, it was thought that the 33-year-old was going to be fine, and that he was to be taken to hospital as a precaution, just to be checked over. However, while being checked over it was discovered that he actually broke two vertebrae in his back.

Fortunately, Davidson can recover from the injuries he suffered, and are not permanent. Over a long period of time, Davidson is likely to make a full recovery, and return to commentating and racing as soon as he can.

Davidson seemed in good spirits despite his terrible crash saying:  
"Well that was a big one! Lying in a French hospital with a broken back wasn't what I had in mind at this stage in the race. Gutted for the Toyota Hybrid team who did an amazing job all week. Thank god I can follow the race on Twitter though!"

Everyone here at El Senores, wishes Anthony Davidson a speedy recovery!
