SuperTourer driver John McIntyre has been discharged from
Christchurch hospital this evening after treatment for
injuries sustained in a practice accident at the Ruapuna
raceway.
Competing in the series final round for
2012 the driver of the #47 JMR Falcon lost effective braking
while entering turn one and impacted heavily with the track
boundary wall. Able to walk to the ambulance that
transported him to hospital for a complete assessment,
McIntyre was later discharged having been treated for an
anterior shoulder dislocation and rib
fractures.
Unfortunately neither McIntyre nor his
car will be race ready for Sunday’s season racing finale.
Instead the winner of the sprint championship segment of the
series will be present to support team drivers Steven
Richards and Dominic Storey in the #70 Fastway Couriers
Falcon. McIntyre will also spend the day with sponsors and
fans that planned to be at the event.
McIntyre and
his team would like to extend their sincere thanks to all
the supportive messages received today after the
accident.
More details about McIntyre and his team can be found on www.jmr.co.nz, or follow John McIntyre Racing on Facebook or ‘JohnMcIntyreRac’ on Twitter.
