Watching the horrific video of Formula 3 driver Sophia Floersch’s car going airborne and slamming into a wall during the Macau Grand Prix on Sunday, it’s hard to believe the German teen could have survived.
But Floersch, who is only 17, did make it out of the crash alive, and she was even tweeting afterward. She suffered a spinal fracture and underwent her first surgery on Monday, she said.
“Current interim information: The medical team is deliberately working slowly to avoid risks. The previous surgical course is good and without complications. The surgery that began this morning continues,” the teenage driver wrote on Twitter in German just before 6 a.m. ET.
woman and her child are in the hospital following a three-vehicle crash Wednesday morning on the inner loop of Man o’ War at Palumbo Drive.
Officials on scene said the driver of a second vehicle ran a red light at the intersection of Palumbo Drive and Man o’ War Boulevard, pushing the vehicle of the woman and child into the a LexTran bus.
The two had to be cut out of their vehicle before being taken to the hospital. Fire officials credit the child’s properly secured car seat.
The bus has minor damage.
The crash closed the inner loop of the intersection for over an hour, slowing eastbound and westbound traffic on Man o’ War.
Lexington emergency crews cleared and reopened the intersection by 7:40 a.m. Wednesday
