FIA To Hold Emergency Meeting To Review Safety Following Deadly Crash

FIA President Jean Todt has called an "emergency top level meeting to review safety after seven people were killed at a high-speed rally in Spain," according to Byron Young of the London DAILY MIRROR. Todt "summoned all the big players in world rallying" for emergency discussions in Geneva on Wednesday. The move ordered while he was at the Italian F1 Grand Prix comes after a "series of horrifying smashes in which fans have been killed." In the latest on Saturday evening "a pregnant woman, days from giving birth, was hit by an out-of-control car in Carral, La Coruña." An FIA statement said, "The objective of the meeting is to review the recent tragic accidents that have occurred and to evaluate every possible additional measures to support and strengthen the organisers' efforts regarding both spectator and driver safety" (DAILY MIRROR, 9/7).
