Racing driver survives incredible 120mph smash

FIREBALL CRASH

RACING driver Hunter Abbott miraculously escaped with his life from this the horrific 120mph fireball crash.

The 27-year-old from Maidenhead was on fire inside his flaming Ginetta G50 sports car after yesterday’s crash at Oulton Park.

“It was terrifying,” he said. “There were flames everywhere, my legs and arm were on fire and I thought: ‘This is it.’

I couldn’t get the door open and had to smash my way out of the passenger side.”

Abbott was taken to Chester Hospital but, amazingly, suffered only minor burns.

Well done to all the marshals who assisted with the crash.

We must remember that they are all volunteers.

i am a marshal myself and to see accidents like this one is very scary.
the marshals really do do a fantastic job.
