WEC: Bad accident red-flags 1,000 Miles of Sebring

A heavy accident involving the race-leading Toyota GR010 Hybrid driven by Jose Maria Lopez caused a red flag three and a half hours into the 1000 Miles of Sebring.

Lopez’s No. 7 Toyota ran hard into the right-side tire barriers at Turn 15. The Argentine driver walked away from the scene of the crash.

That impact came only a few moments after Lopez slid into the right-side barriers at the Turn 9 kink, following a touch between his car’s right-front corner and the left-front of Julien Andlauer’s Dempsey-Proton Racing Porsche 911 RSR-19.
