A driver has been airlifted to hospital after a shocking high-speed crash at Sydney Motorsport Park in Eastern Creek. The incident occurred during a track event, leaving spectators and officials stunned by the severity of the impact.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the vehicle lose control before flipping multiple times across the circuit. Emergency services responded immediately, with paramedics working to stabilise the driver before helicopter evacuation.
Dramatic Scene at Eastern Creek
The crash unfolded during what should have been a routine session at the popular motorsport facility. According to track marshals, the driver appeared to lose control coming out of a high-speed corner, sending the car into a violent series of rolls.
"It happened so fast," one witness told reporters. "One minute the car was on track, the next it was tumbling through the air. The sound of the impact was sickening."
Emergency Response
Track medical teams were on scene within seconds, with NSW Ambulance paramedics arriving shortly after. The driver, whose identity has not been released, was treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries before being airlifted to Westmead Hospital.
A Motorsport Australia spokesperson confirmed they are investigating the incident. "Safety is our top priority," the spokesperson said. "We're working with event organisers to understand exactly what occurred."
Track Safety Under Scrutiny
This latest incident raises fresh questions about safety protocols at the Eastern Creek circuit, which has seen several high-profile crashes in recent years. Motorsport experts suggest the high-speed nature of the track demands constant safety reviews.
The damaged vehicle remained on track for several hours as investigators documented the scene. Event organisers cancelled the remainder of the day's activities as a mark of respect.
