The Hyundai driver lost control of his i20 N, 10 kilometres into the Ibarrilla test and speared into a bank. The force of the impact flicked the car around before rear ending a telegraph pole as it came to a halt in the road.
Lappi and co-driver Janne Ferm emerged from the heavily damaged i20 N unscathed before smoke began to pour from the front of the car as a small fire ignited. The telegraph pole was left hanging precariously above the car following the impact.
