Kubica 'seriously injured' in rally crash
Robert Kubica has been seriously injured in a rallying accident.
Preliminary reports claim that the Renault driver has suffered 'several fractures' after overturning his Skoda Fabia when he left the road at high speed and crashed into a wall of a church.
ANSA said the 26-year-old was heading to the start of the Ronde di Andora rally near Genoa when the car went off the road.
His co-driver, Jacub Gerber, emerged from the wreck unhurt but Kubica had to be helped from the car.
The Pole, who was taking part in the Super2000 category of the Rally Ronde di Andora, was flown to the Santa Corona hospital in Pietra Ligure.
Initial reports suggest he has 'several fractures but not life threatening', however, this has yet to be confirmed.
Renault said in a statement: "Lotus Renault GP driver Robert Kubica suffered an accident at high speed this morning while competing in the Ronde di Andora Rally.
"The driver was airlifted to Pietra Ligure Hospital, where he is currently undergoing medical checks. His co-driver is fine.
"Lotus Renault GP will issue another statement as soon as more information is known about Robert's condition."
