A Brazilian driver has been killed in a car accident at the VW test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany. On Sunday evening (12th June), the 42-year old driver has lost control and skidded off the track because of the heavy downpour of rain. He did stop just short of the barrier, but his luck ran out when a second car driven by a 27-year old also skidded off and ran right into him.

As a result, he was pinned in his car and eventually died of his injuries. The other driver was taken to a nearby hospital in Wolfsburg.  Police have since filed an investigation to find out the full details of the crash.
