Tomizawa crash: the sequence
Sunday, 05 September 2010 19:18
Presented below is a sequence of television images capturing the accident which took the life of Shoya Tomizawa.
The dynamic is one of tragic misfortune, as neither Alex De Angelis or Scott Redding could do anything to avoid what happened.
On lap 12, Shoya Tomizawa suddenly lost control of his Suter, after his front tire ran long onto the artificial grass on the outside of the curbing. That corner is taken flat out by the Moto2 riders.
Thrown from his bike, the Japanese rider was then hit by Alex De Angelis.
The rider from San Marino then immediately hit Tomizawa's Suter, sending him flying forward off of his Motobi.
A fraction of a second later, Redding, who was just behind De Angelis, suddenly found Tomizawa in his path, with absolutely no time to take evasive action.
