The Czech racing driver Tomas Enge is in hospital after crashing during an American Le Mans Series race in the city of St Petersburg. Enge sustained broken ribs, a lung injury and a broken arm when his car hit a wall. His manager said he was in a stable condition and could communicate. In 2001 Enge became the first Czech driver to take part in Formula 1, when he completed three races as a substitute.
