There were seven spectators injured in this incident, and they were all checked over at the track and suffered only minor cuts and bruises.
This accident reminded me an awful lot of Jeff Krosnoff's fatal accident in a CART race in Toronto in 96. A marshal was killed in that accident as well. Jacques was very lucky to escape with only light injuries from this sickening accident.
Two marshal deaths over the course of the last five races, that's an appauling record. The FIA needs to look at the safety standards under which the marshals operate, to see if something can be done to improve them.
My condolences goes out to the family and friends of the poor marshal.
