Spectators at a rally car race were miraculously saved from being seriously hurt when a car crashed and flipped over them.
The incident occurred during the Jolly Rally Valle d'Aosta when a Renault Clio, driven by Pietro Scavone and co-pilot Diego D'Herin, lost control after taking a corner at high speed.
The car crashed before flipping into spectators who were watching the race at the side of the road - with supporters, fortunately, being left unhurt.
Race organiser, Maurizio Salice, confirmed that both drivers were unharmed by the crash although a young girl was taken to hospital for shock.
'The pilot and co-pilot are well, we have heard a little while ago,' he said.
