F1 driver struck and injured by medical car in bizarre incident
Image via RacingNews365On August 13, 1995, during the Hungarian Grand Prix, Taki Inoue experienced a bizarre incident when he was struck by the medical car after his vehicle suffered an engine failure. While attempting to extinguish a fire on his car, Inoue walked into the path of the medical car, resulting in a collision that caused him to land on the vehicle's bonnet before falling to the ground. Fortunately, his injuries were minor, limited to his left leg, and he was able to compete in the following race in Belgium.
This incident marked the second time that season that Inoue had been involved in a collision with an official vehicle, having previously been struck by the safety car at the Monaco Grand Prix. The unusual nature of these events has made them memorable moments in Formula 1 history, highlighting the unpredictable and sometimes dangerous situations drivers can face, even off the track.
