There has been an accident at km 6.6 of the prologue’s special, with car no. 360 (Guo Meiling Mini) veering off the road and hitting four spectators.
The organisers immediately deployed all resources available to the site of the accident: four medical helicopters, three medical vehicles belonging to the organisers and eight local ambulances.
Injured individuals are likely to be swiftly taken to hospitals in the area following an initial medical evaluation by the organisers’ medical teams on the site.
The race directors immediately decided to neutralise the race. The remainder of the trip to the Rosario bivouac will be considered a link section.
