'I had an angel on my shoulder' - W Series drivers unhurt in horror Spa crash

Agren and Visser were hospitalised after being involved in a pile-🌌up at Eau Rouge in qualifying for the𝔉 W Series round at Spa on Saturday afternoon.

The scary accident happened as rain began to fall, with several ꦗdrivers losing the rear of their ♍cars and ending up in the barriers at the top of the hill, before being fired into the path of oncoming rivals.

Sarah Moore, Ab🔜bie Eaton, Belen Garcia and Fabienne Wohlwend were all involved along with Agren and Visser, who ended up taking three massive hits and being launched into a terrifying airborne roll.

All of the drivers were sent for an initi🎃al assessment at the circuit medical centre, with Agren and Visser transferred to a nearby hospital for further checks.

Agren was released from hospital first, while W Series confirmed on Saturday morning that Visser had alꦏso been discharged after a leg X-ray and CT scan revealed she had suffered ✤no injuries.

The cr🌠ash highlighted further safety concerns over the Eau Rouge-Raidillon section of the Spa track following a number of serious incidents in recent years.

Williams Formula 1 reserve Jack Aitken was leꦛft with a broken collarbone and a fractured vertebra following a multi-car shunt in the 24 Hours of Spa.

Two years ago, Anthoine Hubert was killed after being T-boned by Juan Manuel Correa at the top of Raidillon d❀uring a Formula 2 race.
