Hyundai team principal Cyril Abiteboul read a prepared statement to the media in Croatia on Wednesday to explain what happened in the incident in which Breen died last Thursday during a pre-event test on Croatian roads. Co-driver James Fulton was unharmed in the incident.
Abiteboul confirmed that the accident occurred at a relatively low speed and that the car had collided with a wooden fence which had intruded the cabin of the car through the drivers’ side window. He also reiterated that there was no issue with any element of the Hyundai i20 Rally1 car.
