How F1 driver Niki Lauda survived a devastating Grand Prix crash


“As I committed to the turn, I saw some dirt going up in the air and I knew something was wrong, and, sure enough, I came around, exited the turn, and he was sideways on fire in the middle of the track,” Lunger told the BBC. “I slowed, but my car still went into his and impacted his.” Harald Ertl, an Austrian driver who was following, then hit Lunger’s car. Despite the danger, Ertl, Lunger and Edwards got out of their vehicles to try to pull Lauda out of his. But they could not get him free of the cockpit’s harness.
