The 22-year-old Argentine driver Guido Falaschi was killed Sunday during the last lap of Turismo Carretera when he lost control of his Ford Falcon touring car in an attempt to avoid a collision with a lapped racer.
Falaschi's race car slid across a gravel trap and into a tire barrier before being struck by another car and rolling back onto the race course. His vehicle was then struck by a second race car driven by Nestor Girolami. Doctors confirmed Falaschi's death later that day, though Girolami is reported to be in stable condition and recovering at a local hospital.
The crash occurred at the Juan Manuel Fangio race track. Here is the crash video, though be warned that the footage may be too graphic for some audiences.
