Reports from the scene say that McRae was conscious and alert shortly after the crash although the Scottish driver was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure to check for any internal injuries.

It should be stated that details are imprecise at this moment and that McRae is not seriously hurt, a tribute to the strength of the Ford Focus WRC and the quick reactions of the safety teams.

No spectators are believed to be involved.
