Takuma Sato (Jordan Honda) has just been involved it a horrific accident at the F1 GP in Austria. He appears to be badly injured. He's still stuck in the car. :'(
He was hit at very high speed, by the Sauber of Nick Heidfeld, who lost control under braking for the 2nd turn, and hit the Jordan as it exited the turn. Heifeld also narrowly missed Juan Pablo Montoya, who was also exiting the turn..
Bernd Maylander currently leads the race in the Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG safety car.
The doctors are still working at the scene of the accident. Sato is still in the car, I think.. :eek:
Edit: Takuma Sato is being taken away in an ambulance now.
