Honestly, that's the best way forward in the circumstances. We can all infer that this is a serious incident.

Agreed. Telling us what might be happening is a very low priority right now.

I rarely use twitter. Looks like somethig at Earl Rogue and a car is in bad shape from the onbard. Check out #SPA24H on twitter.

Might be (empahsis on "might be"), Both Emil Frey Lambos, #21 porsche, and #71 Ferrari

No need for mights (but thank you for the courtesy), all the drivers involved have been confirmed on stream already, so those are the four cars involved.

But beyond that, let's wait for official news.

Edit - Far too late, but thankfully the onboards of #93 & #70 have been paused.

That's pretty sure. All 4 are last on the timing and 4 laps down now ...
There's certainly nobody else involved

[Mike E]

John Dagys reporting Estre on way to med centre in medical car, not ambulance. No news yet on other three.

[Mike E]

Now saying all four taken to med centre, per SRO.

[bentley speed 8]

So we are clear of any major injuries?

[Mike E]

So, good news that all drivers extracted. But not great news because obviously serious incident.

[J Jay]

Porsche Motorsport also mentioning the accident and that the #21 is out of the race.

Nothing about Estre specifically, so hopefully that means he at least has escaped with minor injuries at worst.

[bentley speed 8]

Kevin Estre seems like he got back to the team.

[Mike E]

Estre released from med centre

[J Jay]

Good news for Estre. From Porsche Motorsport.

"We hope that the other drivers involved are also doing well."

Don't we all.

[WyldStallion]

An Emil Frey Lambo

[bentley speed 8]

Rigon seems fine too. Waiting for the Emil Frey drivers now.

[gert]

At least Porsche keeps us up-to-date

[Simmi]

If people want clarity on what happened this is crash footage I found on Twitter: https://streamable.com/kpfemd

Watch it or don't.

[WyldStallion]

Videos of the crash appearing on twitter now. An Emil Frey Lambo hit the left side wall on exit of Raddion. Got a direct hit from other Emil Frey Lambo behind who was too fast to get out of the way.

[J Jay]

Official update from race control - Estre & Perera are okay.

Rigon & Aitken are in hospital, but their injuries are not life-threatening.

[Mike E]

Relief!

[bentley speed 8]

So what happened is, Aitken crashed by himself, then got hit by Perera, Rigon and Estre

There must be a blind spot exiting Raddion corner which is exactly where the first Emil Fray Lambo that crashed ended up.

[WyldStallion]

By the way the safety car is still not needed. Looks like everything was handled just fine under "FCY", no need to articficially bunch the cars up again. SRO drives me nuts.

[bentley speed 8]

Honestly as bad as this was, it could have been even bigger, there was quite a few more cars that managed to avoid the mess somehow.
