Fan injured in "freak accident" by debris from Kevin Magnussen crash at Australian GP

A Formula 1 fan was left with a bleeding arm after being struck by flying debris from Kevin Magnussen 's car at the Australian Grand Prix.

Magnussen crashed his Haas in the closing stages of a chaotic and controversial race in Melbourne, colliding with the track-side barrier and losing his rear-right wheel. The Dane was running in 12th for Haas when he brushed the barrier and his race-ending accident caused the second of three red flags in a frenzied finale.

And while Magnussen claimed "he didn't even feel" the impact of the crash, there was concern for one spectator in the stands, who was struck by a piece of flying carbon fibre. Injured fan Will Street was standing on the hill with his fiancee behind the fencing near turn two, and claimed he was lucky to escape with just a cut from the debris.
