A 17-year-old female teenage driver fractured her spine in a horrifying crash at the Formula Three Macau Grand Prix on Sunday, Nov. 18.
Her car became airborne and flew off the track and into a marshals and photographers' area.
The German teenager, Sophia Floersch, lost control in a contact down the straight, launched off a kerb, and bounced off Japanese driver Sho Tsuboi's TOM's Racing car.
Floersch, a Van Amersfoort Racing team driver, was running 16th.
She was conscious and stable after the accident.
Tsuboi, two photographers and a marshal were also taken to hospital.
The marshal suffered a broken jaw, while another victim had abdominal pain from a lacerated liver.

Spectator footage captured Floersch's car flying through the air and into safety netting at the Guia Circuit's Lisboa bend, a sharp right-hander.
