The driver of a racing vehicle was taken to Linares Hospital. For reasons under investigation, he lost control mid-race, overturned at high speed, and was ejected from the racing vehicle.

A fact that shouldn't happen, since in these sporting events, drivers compete with competition-standard seat belts, with five anchor points, in addition to safety cages and special door locks to prevent them from opening in the middle of an accident.

As a result of the loss of control, the man, identified as Víctor Hernández, who traveled from Pitrufquén, in the Araucania Region, was ejected from the plane and flew for several meters before landing on the side of the runway.

Linares firefighters responded to the emergency at the Las Toscas racetrack, where they stabilized the patient, and he was transported by emergency crews to the Linares Provincial Hospital, where, according to preliminary sources, he is in critical condition but not life-threatening, with a reserved diagnosis.
