A frightening crash at the Le Mans race at Monza today. Stephane Ortelli gets airborne and nearly takes out McNish.

Ortelli suffered a broken ankle but is otherwise okay.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_0pdtyNBiU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_0pdtyNBiU</a</li></ul>

It's a testament to the strength of those cars that all he had was a broken ankle.

driver only had sight injuries. From the looks of the wreck ...could have been a lot worse.

I wanted to see an external video of this, but haven't been able to find one yet. Can't believe the car was driveable after this.<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAP2FJns0M0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAP2FJns0M0</a</li></ul>
