I believe he had a serious concussion. The reason for him remaining in the car was so the medics could stablize him. |

OK, what I should have said was RELATIVELY uninjured i.e no broken bones or such. He was knocked unconscious in the impact and the medics and rescue team therefore had no way of knowing whether he had any spinal injuries. After a shunt like that, with an unconscious driver, they would automatically assume the worst and extricate the driver as though he had spinal injuries. Actually 30 minutes is quite quick under the circumstances. whitestar tells me that 30 minutes is good and 45 minutes would be the absolute maximum to extricate any driver. |

Indeed it was. Regrettably, a lot of people actually blamed Biela for Kieth's death. |

not sure how though having seen the crash a few times I can't really see how Biela could have avoided it |

Me neither. But there are folks who still blame Biela for it.

It's not the sight of the accident that remains with me. It was the sound. I was stood at Knickerbrook and the bang the crash made still sounded horrific. |
