Marshal killed in crane accident at Canadian GP - Condolence

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/108014
The FIA has announced that a Canadian Grand Prix marshal has died following an incident at the Montreal track on Sunday.

The marshal was helping to retrieve Esteban Gutierrez's crashed car following the race when he tripped while trying to retrieve a dropped radio and fell under the wheels of a mobile crane.

The marshal could not be seen by the driver of the crane, and was run over - suffering serious injuries.
After being taken to the circuit's medical centre he was transferred by helicopter to the Sacre-Coeur hospital in Montreal for treatment in its traumatology department.
However, despite all efforts to help him, the marshal succumbed to his injuries on Sunday night.

The unidentified man is the third marshal to have been killed since 2000.

At the Italian Grand Prix in 2000, Paolo Ghislimberti died after being struck by a wheel that flew over the barriers after an opening lap crash.

The following season at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix, Graham Beveridge was killed when he was struck by a wheel that had flown through a gap in the safety fencing in a collision between Jacques Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher.

It's always terrible to hear of such tragedies. Without the brave folk in orange no one could be on track, and they run the same risks as any of the drivers. My condolences are with the family, friends and anyone affected by this terrible occurrence.

What a tragic incident - talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Literally one false step and you're gone.

My thoughts are with the family and with the crane driver who must be going through hell at this terrible time.

A terrible accident and awful for all concerned.
I remember a similar case local to me back in the 60s and the crane driver never got over it although he was absolved from any fault at the inquest.

Also a thought to the crane driver.
