Despite the severity of the crash, both occupants avoided serious injuries, with Verstappen confirming his well-being post-accident.
Following the crash, Verstappen showcased resilience by securing third place in the rally behind Adrian Fernemont and Maxime Potty. Unfortunately, he and Vermeulen were forced to withdraw from the competition after the collision.
