Two drivers were hospitalized after this spectacular at the Formula 3 European Championship Saturday at the Red Bull Ring in Austria.

The crash happened after Ryan Tveter slid off the course in a corner into a gravel pit designed to slow down racers, kicking up a dust cloud that temporarily blinded Chinese driver, Peter Li Zhi Cong, causing him to rear end Tveter and go into airborne barrel roll landing. Pedro Piquet was also entangled in the crash.

Peter Li Zhi Cong was airlifted to the hospital and sustained broken bones in his heel requiring surgery and 4 fractured vertebrae which do not require surgery.
