Damn unlucky the tail lift was at a height to clear the cars nose, but not go over her head.

Nasty. Wishing her a fast recovery. Sadly I think with a 12 hour plus surgery to try and rebuild her face , her injuries must have been very serious. Tail lifts are solid and helmets and flesh aren't

Fuck . I didn't realize the tail lift was folded down. She is lucky it did not take her head off. Very sad. She looked beautiful too.

Maria de Villota I wish you a speedy recovery, My thoughts are with you! I am sure that you will be able to carry on, if you have the drive, and talent to make it this far, you will be able to get through this.
