Just a wee
update on yesterday’s item about the accident on the Granite City Rally. A
fourth man was slightly injured during the accident on the first stage,
although not as seriously as the other three, and all suffered ‘lower limb
injuries’.
The accident
happened after one car left the road and spectators rushed to help push it out
of the ditch in which it had come to rest. As they did so, another car came round
the corner and slid off the road at the same place, striking the men at the
rear of the first car.
It’s too
early to speculate on the causes of the accident because only those who were
there will have the full facts, but for now, full praise must be extended to
the stage doctor and on-event rescue crews who attended the aftermath of the
accident.
One casualty
was airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary while the other three were taken by
ambulance.
Grampian
Police will conduct a ‘collision investigation’ and carry out a full inquiry
into the circumstances of the incident.
