Dover Raceway Jamaica Crash - Heroes Weekend 2011

This video shows the final lap of the second race and my camera caught David Sommerbell shoot off the track and pass Doug Gore after they passed the finish line. The camera also caught the kid that got hit by the race car on the right side of the screen few seconds after Doug's car came to a stop.

Does anyone have a link to a better video of Summerbel's crash

[knightfoxinc]

@oonniizzllee I know that NCU had a camera on his car but it got lost in the crash

[sandygrave]

Don't know if its true, but the Star reports that the little boy has died. This is too tragic.

[knightfoxinc]

@sandygrave waiting on confirmation. Gleaner reports he is in stable conditions in the hospital.

[sandygrave]

I dont see where the little boy was hit. At what point in the vid?

[knightfoxinc]

@sandygrave at the 2min mark. you might need to watch it in full screen. look at the race car that pulls to the side and stops on the right.

@rdrinkall - u got it wrong boss - the marshals and security could do nothing about it. The crowd invaded the track mainly from the hillside in a matter of seconds. You would need an army patrolling or a squad of police/security at arms length along that straight to have a chance

@sandygrave it happened at about 2:00

Why are all these people running onto a green track? Where are the track marshalls? Track security? If I was president of the Jamaican club, everyone getting fired for not doing their dam jobs.

[MegaAmeer2]

what happened to david's car?? from all indications of the video gore started to slow as he entered the corner, as though something has happened ahead....

@elainewhyte001 I got more details since I made my comment. He is only just 10 years old. That explains a lot. The pictures on the Observer made him look bigger. I know of many 10 year olds that would not have run onto the track, which speaks more to the quality of their parents, than themselves. Thanks for your reply.

This is just poor judgment on everyone's part, spectators should never run onto the track, thats for race marshals and medical personnel. The speedway needs to have control mechanisms in place, because unfortunately people can be stupid enough to do this again. But i think the real hero in this situation here is the driver who hit the child, if u watch closely it could have been alot worse, he swung left after hitting him to avoid running him over. hats off to u sir.

@001Rupes which little kid gna know better not to run look at a car when it crash?

[sandygrave]

@BatusiX That is great to know.... all things considered.
