Renault driver rushed to hospital after truck accident after German Grand Prix

A team statement revealed the truck driver was in hospital but his injuries were not serious.

“We confirm that a Team truck was in an accident on the M1 in Hungary, near Gyor,” a tweet read.

“The driver, who was driving within the respected regulations, is conscious and has not suffered serious injury.

“He’s been transported to hospital for further checks. No other vehicles were involved.”

The truck was driving towards Budapest for the Hungarian Grand Prix this coming weekend but the crash will be a huge set back to their preparations for the race as Daniel Ricciardo and Nico Hulkenberg battle for points.

Pictures of the truck have emerged on social media showing it hanging off the motorway.

It is unclear if the RS19 cars were on board at this stage.
