From what I understand, the Photographer has minor injuries.
Two Marshals have non life-threatening but more serious injuries. Let's hope that all recover speedily. |

Take no notice of the BBC, it was three injured NOT five and one of those involved was back at the venue this afternoon, and during the prize giving this evening expressed his thanks to all that attended the scene.
From Barry Guess (Event Director) at the prize giving the other two are now in NORMAL hospital care, nothing life threatening. So good news. |

None of us like to hear about marshals being injured doing the hobby we love. Here's hoping you make a quick and full recovery.

From an Abingdon Newspaper.......
Event co-ordinator ****** ****** said: “It was just an unfortunate accident....... But we got a brilliant response from the emergency services and everything turned out alright” Nice to know that having 2 people in hospital with injuries is being veiwed as turning out alright!! |

I may be wrong, but I took the view that the sentiment was that the emergency arrangements worked well, although I would agree that it was maybe poorly worded, but given the stresses of the day I can understand that maybe "elegant turns of expression" were not considered to be so important. The important thing is that it seems that the emergency cover seems to have worked efficiently to minimise the consequences of the incident for all involved. As it says on event tickets "Motorsport is Dangerous", I guess statistically from time to time we will get reminders of this fact, and the fact that the incident involved injury rather than "on course fatality" is something to take some small comfort from surely? I just get nervous when I see the HSE get involved in things. I should stress that is .... Just My Opinion.... YMMV |

What happened? From what I head 2 marshals and a photographer got collected by someone at the flying finish on stage 1? Good to hear all involved aren't seriously hurt and are on the mend.

The award from Stowford House, they are one of the organisations that the weekend is about went to the Rescue crews and medics involved in the incident.
And knowing personally, and having worked with said 'Event co-ordinator' as part of the team on that event on a few occasions they would NOT have been words he would use! |

So are we suggesting that a local rag would twist somebody's words? Never lol!
Good to hear that things are not too serious though. |
