'She hit Jehan's right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. I just hope she's OK.' The initial crash that sent Floersch into the barrier also led to damage that rendered her brakes useless as she hurtled towards the following right hand turn. Once at the turn she was catapulted into the air by a curb, that is designed to stop drivers cutting the corner and looking to gain an advantage. above are many camera angles, real time and slo mo Below, a single slow mo https://fox8.com/2018/11/19/17-year-old-sophia-floersch-survives-airborne-crash-at-macau-grand-prix/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-6406211/The-incredible-pictures-doctors-rush-172-MPH-crash-Sophia-Floersch.html
