Thankfully nobody was seriously injured. Recent security camera footage from a gas station in Whitaker, PA, shows a car careening for the gas station at a high rate of speed. The owner of the Gulf Oil location, Bob Ackerman, says that it’s unfortunately not the first time that this has happened. It all started on April 15, 2015, when a driver took out a traffic signal and landed on two parked cars. The latest instance happens to be the ninth accident at this location in the last six years, taking place only 12 days after another nearly identical crash. Thankfully, nobody has been seriously injured from these incidents, but Ackerman is worried that could change.

Emilia Romagna GP: Verstappen wins, Hamilton recovers to second
Verstappen and Hamilton clashed at the race's opening corners, with the latter then having to put in a recovery drive after sliding off into the gravel at the Tosa hairpin just before the red flag shortly before half distance thanks to the massive accident involving his Mercedes teammate. Rain falling in the first half of the Imola lap in the hour ahead of the race start meant most of the cars left the grid on intermediates. From third at the start, Verstappen made a perfect getaway to pull alongside Sergio Perez when the lights went out, and was quickly able to pull alongside polesitter Hamilton – nearly running onto the grass on his left-hand side – as they shot down to the Tamburello chicane. Verstappen was ahead by the braking zone by Hamilton braked later to stay on the outside and the pair went side-by-side around the first left part of the sequence. The Red Bull held the racing line and when Hamilton determinedly kept his nose alongside they clashed at the … [Read more...] about Emilia Romagna GP: Verstappen wins, Hamilton recovers to second
Tasmania Supercars: Waters tops first practice
Less than a second separated the 24-car field across the half-hour session, 18 of those cars within half a second over the compact Symmons Plains lap. Waters got the best of the late green tyre runs, the Tickford driver vaulting to the top with a 50.846s. That was good enough to leave him 0.004s clear of Dick Johnson Racing's Will Davison, who had gone fastest seconds earlier. "We got through most of what we were trying to achieve in that session," said Waters. "We put a set of greens on at the end and cleaned up a lot of my issues. I'm not too sure what the other guys did, if they put tyres on or not. But the car is good over one lap, like it has been all year. We're just trying to work on our race car." Chaz Mostert was the best-placed driver that didn't improve on his final run, his 50.906s coming at the mid-way point of the session. Jack Le Brocq ended up fourth fastest thanks to a late flyer, while Shane van Gisbergen set the early pace but was shuffled … [Read more...] about Tasmania Supercars: Waters tops first practice
