\"\"A horrific 160-mph crash claimed the life of 22-year-old Formula Two racer Anthoine Hubert<\/a> over the weekend, after his car collided with the car of Ecuadorian-American driver Juan-Manuel Correa<\/strong> at the F2 feature race in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium.<\/p>\n

According to the motorsport governing body F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l’Automobile<\/strong> (FIA), the Frenchman collided with Correa’s car as they were gaining uphill momentum on Lap 2 at the high-speed Spa-Francorchamps circuit, after Hubert seemingly lost control of his vehicle. <\/p>\n

The heavy crash severed both drivers\u2019 cars in two, with the 20-year-old Correa\u2019s vehicle found flipped upside down. <\/p>\n

Hubert\u2019s car was mangled after spinning around violently from the solid impact. Emergency medical crews promptly responded to the scene, as other drivers swerved to avoid the wreckage, on the tree-lined 4.3-mile circuit located inside the Ardennes forest. The race was eventually canceled a few minutes later to give way to the recovery team.<\/p>\n
