Lotus Renault F1 driver Robert Kubica has been seriously injured while competing in a rally in Italy.
He has reportedly suffered fractures to his left arm and left leg.
A Renault spokeswoman told Reuters that Kubica was conscious and a statement would be issued shortly.
ANSA, the Italian news agency, said the 26-year-old racer was heading to the start of the Ronde di Andora rally near Genoa in a Skoda Fabia when the car went off the road and hit a wall.
The co-driver Jacub Gerber got out unhurt while Kubica had to be extracted and taken by helicopter to hospital.
Kubica, a keen rally fan who has entered several events previously, tested the new Lotus-backed Renault in Valencia last week ahead of the Formula One season which starts in Bahrain on March 13.
