brynne Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 A DRAG car driver has escaped serious injury after crashing his car at more than 400km/h at the Perth Motorplex last night. South African jet dragster driver Pieter De Wit “suffered a high speed racing incident during last night’s final round of drag racing at the Kwinana complex, according to Perth Motorplex's Facebook page. “After initial parachute issues, De Wit hit the sand-trap area at high speed causing significant damage,” it said. “Despite this impact, De Wit responded alertly to all safety crew in attendance and was communicating with them until he departed the venue.” The South African was taken to Royal Perth Hospital for observation by the RAC rescue chopper. He escaped without any broken bones but did experience some significant bruising and burns to his back.
