Two doctors and a paramedic attended the 41-year-old Grataloup there. He was stabilised before being airlifted to Perth's St John of God Murdoch Hospital.
Delecour was examined by a rally medical officer and cleared. He later drove the Focus RS back to the rally service area in Harvey.
The stage was subsequently cancelled and all competitors were re-routed to a regroup in Collie before the rally continued.
