JAKARTA Pascal Wehrlein was immediately taken to hospital after being involved in a horror accident with a Porsche team in Formula E. The frightening incident occurred during a training session ahead of Hyderabad E-Prix in India, Saturday, February 11, 2023. Luckily, Wehrlein was not seriously injured in the incident.
Wehrlein is still top of the table this weekend after the first three races of the season. He is currently collecting 68 points or six points ahead of Jake Dennis who is in second place in the standings.
The German racer had an accident after losing control of his car right around the last corner of the track. The car driven by Wehrlein had been circling before making a loud bang when it hit the guard wall.
The deadly collision caused major damage to the car. Two racing commentators Jack Nicholls and Karun Chandhok even went wide.
Long for Wehrlein because he managed to get out of the collision without being seriously injured. He was able to get out of his car without needing help, but was immediately taken to the hospital for further examination.
When contacting the team via Wehrlein radio, Wehrlein said that the cause of the accident was the traffic jam of the car.
"It looks like it's not the driver's fault," Chandhok said while trying to analyze the cause of the accident experienced by the 28-year-old rider.
"He says that the thrust is jammed and, yes, you can see the wheels are still turning as he rotates," Nicholls added.
To further investigate the cause of the accident without endangering their other riders, Porsche chose not to send them out until more tests were carried out.
Wehrlein competed forBoth and Sauber in Formula 1 in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. He took part in 40 races and won six points.
