When a 4x4 truck flipped nose over tail at the Suzuki Extreme Challenge in Turakina yesterday, the crowd roared in appreciation.
But when half an hour passed and the driver had still not emerged from his vehicle, people began to realise something was seriously wrong ...
The crowd grew quiet and people crowded around the truck. An extra ambulance and two fire trucks were called to the spot.
Track staff and another driver used a handsaw and mechanical device to cut off the roll cage on the side of the truck where driver Warren Jeffery sat injured.
