**Survivor of Mechanical Inspection Crash in Stable Condition and Recovering**
One of the survivors from the accident during the mechanical inspection for the Baja 1000 off-road race, which took place on Thursday, November 14, is reportedly in stable condition and recovering. Representatives from Score International have confirmed the news.
Juan Tintos Funcke, the general director and legal representative of the company, stated that the survivor, who is an American national, sustained injuries to his left hand. However, improvements in his health status have been noted over recent hours. The image of the injured hand quickly went viral due to its graphic nature.
“He is improving and remains hospitalized at Velmar Hospital. According to the latest medical report, he has shown slight improvement,” said Tintos Funcke, who also refuted circulating rumors about the survivor’s health, assuring that he is out of danger.
The victim was part of the pit support crew for one of the teams in the 57th edition of the iconic race. The incident occurred when a driver, Eduardo “N”, lost control of a “Trophy” vehicle, causing an unexpected acceleration that led to a multi-vehicle collision. The survivor was struck amid the ensuing chaos, suffering injuries to his left hand, while other injured parties, including two fatalities, were results of subsequent impacts from the crashed vehicles.
