— It was slippery and the car slid off the road at a fairly low speed and hit a wooden fence. A pole from the fence entered through the window on the driver’s side, says Hyundai team manager Cyril Abiteboul.
The pole hit Breen who died instantly.
On Tuesday, the 33-year-old was buried. And on Thursday the competition starts. The competition route does not go past the accident site because you are not allowed to practice on the competition roads.
