Teenage driver Billy Monger has lost both of his lower legs after a horrific crash during a Formula 4 race at Donington Park on Sunday.

The 17-year-old suffered severe leg injuries after running into the back of Patrik Pasma’s car in a crash which was broadcast on TV as part of race coverage.

The Formula Four British Championship race was stopped while an air ambulance was flown on to the track to take the teenager to hospital.

Billy was trapped in the car while conscious for over an hour after the crash while medics worked to free him.

Pasma was also taken to hospital however he was not thought to be seriously hurt. Onlookers described the crash as ‘horrific’ and ‘one of the worst I’ve seen.’
