Massive Lamborghini Gallardo crash in Super Trofeo leaves driver in intensive care
Despite the safety precautions in place in most competitive races, there’s always that possibility that something could go wrong.
The Lamborghini Super Trofeo Cup saw a massive accident during Round 4 of the season. From what we can tell, the number 22 Gallardo LP560-4 driven by Giorgio Bartocci got off into the gravel on the last turn before the front straight.
The driver’s side door flew open as the car span down the tarmac. When it finally came to a stop, the Gallardo turned into a fireball. Giorgio was caught in the burning car for more than a minute in temperatures reaching upward of 1,500 degrees.
Fire crews initially took longer than expected to pull the driver from the wreck and were seen using hand held fire extinguishers to battle the blaze. The FIA is expected to investigate the incident. Surprisingly, Bartocci survived the ordeal and was in intensive care with 1st degree burns and a fractured leg .
This incident happened on May 2010
