Soyaux Angouleme winger Lucas Caeda was shown a straight red card after a ghastly mid-air tackle in his side's ProD2 clash with Mont-de-Marsan.
Caeda was chasing after a box-kick from within his own 22, but massively misjudged his tackle on opposite winger Julien Cabannes, hitting him in mid-air, causing Cabannesto flip and land on his neck.
The collision left both men collapsed in a heap, with teammates and medical staff quickly rushing to their aid.
The referee wasted no time in showing Caeda a straight red. The Angouleme winger apologised to Cabannes before leaving the field.
Cabannes was unable to continue, having to be substituted immediately.
