None of them braked in time to avoid the collision and the private vehicle, which was traveling at a higher speed, ended up taking the Toyota Yaris WRC ahead.

Although there were no injuries to mourn, Ogier and Ingrassia’s car suffered major damage to the side of the vehicle, having to go down to repair them before being able to continue.
