Driver Tony Quinn gave his first-hand account of the wreck:

I was right behind it and I saw the car do at least four tumbles.

It then did some more before it went over the wall and caught fire. The car is pretty good to be honest.

That was at top speed and it was violent. The cars are very strong and very safe.

Damien was able to escape his burning car and was conscious talking to medical teams following the accident. Per , he was then airlifted to a local hospital for a full evaluation.
