LE CASTELLET, France -- Race car driver Katherine Legge broke her leg and wrist after crashing in testing for the European Le Mans Series, organizers said Wednesday.
Legge's Oreca-Gibson car went off the Circuit Paul Ricard at the high-speed Signes corner, a right-hander at the end of a long straight, and hit the guardrail.
The ELMS said in a statement that Legge was extracted from the car and was "conscious the whole time" but broke her lower left leg and right wrist. Legge was treated at the circuit medical center and then flown by helicopter to a hospital in the city of Toulon.
