Smashed to Bits
A racing driver walked away from this mangled wreck with just bruises and a broken cheekbone after he flipped his car twice in a 120mph crash and landed sideways in a ditch.
Wallace Menzies, 42, was competing in the century-old Shelsey Walsh hillclimb race in Worcestershire when he lost control of his DJ Firestorm car on a bend.
He was left precariously balanced in the wreck of his hillclimb car for more than 45 minutes as race marshalls and medics battled to free him and take him to hospital.
Mr Menzie's car had careed off the closed public road yesterday and struck a high verge to driver’s right.
It was sent flying through the air and flipped twice before ploughing into the side of the steep hillside.
The driver was taken to hospital but was discharged just a few hours later having suffered a broken cheek bone, cuts to his face and bruised shoulders.
