Australian Formula One driver Mark Webber has been badly injured during his Mark Webber Challenge in Tasmania today.
321Ignition has learned that at 12.30pm Webber, who drives for Red Bull Racing, collided with the car while riding south towards Port Arthur on the remote Tasmanian Peninsula.
Search and rescue police officer Damian Bidgood said Webber appeared to have a serious lower leg injury. “Unfortunately he’s had a head-on,’’ Sgt Bidgood said. “It will put him out of action for a while.’’
A rescue helicopter is waiting on the oval at Port Arthur, just near the ruins of the historic convict site, waiting to fly to Oakwood to collect Webber.
He will then be flown to the Domain in Hobart and taken to hospital.
321Ignition will keep you posted as more news on Webber comes to hand.
