Thierry Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul were fortunate to avoid injury after crashing off a bridge and into a 🐟river during a test for the upcoming World Rally Championship Corsica event.

The Hyundai squad were preparing for the next round of the 2018 WRC season, Tour de Corse, on the 5-8 April when Neuville’s i20 dropped off the road at a bridge near Linguizzetta,ꦚ 50km ✱south of the rally’s Bastia base.

According to ℱreports on WRC.com, the accident occurred at the exit of a left corner before the bridge pass and sent the Hyundai underneath the bridge in a shallow section of river whicꦅh heavy damage sustain to the car.

Hyundai confirmed both Neuville and Gilsoul were able to walkಌ away from the incident but ﷽it prematurely cut short the one-day test for the team.

Teammates Andreas Mik🎶kelsen and Dani Sordo tested earlier in the week so Neuvill🔴e’s shunt caused no further disruption to the Korean manufacturer’s preparations.
