Two drivers hospitalised after wild three-car wreck
Ryan Tveter and ‘Peter' Li Zhi Cong were both taken to hospital after this unbelievable crash in the European Formula 3.
Cong suffered four fractured vertebrae and several broken bones after this car was launched into the air when he rammed into the back of Carlin team-mate Ryan Tveter's car after he had spun out.
The Carlin team issued a statement on Li's condition, which read: "Peter is undergoing treatment for multiple broken bones in his heel, which will require surgery in the near future.
"Peter has also been diagnosed with four fractured vertebrae, which do not require surgery.
"While suffering with bruising and other small injuries, Peter is alert and speaking with team personnel.”
A third driver, Pedro Piquet also crashed into Tveter's car, sending the Brazilian off the track.
Tveter took to Twitter after the race to wish his teammate well and show thanks for his safety.
Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes after today's heavy accident. Released from hospital w/ a badly bruised knee, but all ok.

All thoughts are with my teammate Peter who is currently in Graz hospital with a few broken bones. Both of us are very lucky.
