The ninth round of the ADAC Formel Masters championship at the Sachsenring was abandoned yesterday after two drivers crashed while a car was being recovered, at least one hitting a course car.
Marshals were recovering Nicolas Pohler’s car when their vehicle was struck by Florian Herzog. That collision can be seen in this video:

According to the report on the series’ website, Kim-Alexander Giersiepen also collided with the car that was being recovered, though that doesn’t appear in the video.
No reports of any serious injuries, though Giersiepen was taken for a check-up.
What also isn’t clear from the video is whether the recovery was being done under local yellows or the safety car. Either way, it’s a pretty serious lapse in driving standards and those involved – especially the marshals – are fortunate to be unhurt.
