Racing accident on the roads of the Ciocco Rally, the first round of the 2024 Italian Rally Championship which takes place in Garfagnana, in the province of Lucca.
A 22-year-old young man was seriously injured when he was hit by a wheel that came off a racing car . The boy was following the steps of the competitors on the special timed stage in Renaio, after having positioned himself on a high and safe hill.
But when the tire quickly flew off a Peugeot 208, it hit him due to inertia, causing serious facial and chest trauma.
The test was interrupted by the course marshals who immediately sent for the ambulance with a doctor on board on race duty on the same special test. The young man was stabilized and transported to the Barga sports field from where he was transferred by the air ambulance to the Cisanello hospital under code red.
