There was a terrifying crash at the Macau Grand Prix on Sunday. 17-year-old Formula 3 driver Sophia Floersch crashed, went airborne, and slammed directly into a photographers’ box. And it was all caught on camera.
The video above and the two below show the 168mph (270km/h) wreck from different angles.
Floersch survived the crash and later underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a spinal fracture. Another driver, a marshal, and two photographers were also hospitalized.
Hong Kong-based Australian photographer Christiaan Hart was one of the five photographers inside the box when the crash occurred.
“Everything happened so fast, the sound was horrific,” Hart tells PetaPixel. “One minute you are shooting the next thing we were all picking ourselves up off the floor, the impact threw us down, camera gear and bags were all over the place.”
Here’s a photo sequence Hart captured showing what happened before impact:
