Collard released from hospital…

Motorsport website Crash.net reports that Rob Collard has been released following crash.

Rob Collard has been released from hospital following his accident in the final HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship race of the weekend at Snetterton.

Although Collard was able to walk away from the car, he then complained of pains in his abdomen and was taken to hospital before being released shortly before midnight and driven home by team boss David Bartrum. Collard has been given a clean bill of health but is suffering from extensive internal bruising.

“I would sincerely like to thank the medical team at Snetterton who did a sterling job of looking after me following the incident and also the staff at Norwich and Norfolk hospital who were also first class,” he said. “When I got out of the car I was a bit sore but the adrenaline was getting me through. It wasn’t until I sat down in the medical centre that it really hit me and the pain was unbelievable. Thankfully I was really well looked after by all the medics and I think they checked absolutely every inch of me to make sure there was no major damage.”
