Page "Jeff Fuller (racing driver)" Paragraph 16

He was involved in an incredible accident at the Kentucky speedway on June 17 when he swerved to avoid Jason Leffler's spinning car and ended up hitting the inside wall at almost full speed.

The car practically imploded upon impact and then burst into flames briefly.

Despite the car hitting the wall on the right side, the left side came apart.

Amazingly, he never lost consciousness but the car's roof had to be cut off to extract him.

He was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation and ( surprisingly, considering the heavy amount of damage to his car ) a broken wrist and finger.

He was released the next day.

They determined that the implosion of the car was due to a faulty roll cage which failed during the crash.
