Burke hillclimb crash
On Sunday, June 23rd, the Frog Racing team was involved in a traumatic crash at the Burke Hillclimb. At 85 mph, the car hit a tree head on, causing it to uproot and fall on top of the car. Both occupants sustained orthopedic injuries and are currently recovering at home. We are happy to report that the cage and safety equipment did their job and saved their lives.
We have released a video analysis of the crash that you can see on our YouTube channel. Be aware that the video shows onboard footage of the crash and might be disturbing for some viewers.
