No, no, no.

This serious fact is recorded in a video where the vehicle moves toward a group of people in the middle of the desert, while the back wheels of the heavy vehicle go over the foot of a spectator who tried to get away from the road followed by trucks but did not succeed.

The wounded man is a 60-year-old South African citizen who was outside the designated public area when the accident occurred. Of course, he's taken a break in the leg and on the femur while being sent for hospital treatment immediately by medical teams.

The truck, which competed with the number 518, has been excluded from the race with the commissioners' jury ruling. Prior to the accident, Russian pilot Karginov took third place in the previous five stages of “Dakar 2019” and won the fourth of them.

Andrei Karguínov, who caused the serious incident, said he is ready to offer all possible assistance to the wounded.

In addition, it was reported that the vehicle presented technical problems on the first axis and was exceeding the dunes when trying to avoid spectators.

Organisers and local authorities remind the public of the need to respect audience areas, considered safe zones, to prevent such frightening accidents.
