Crashed in the first lap of the third heat and then run over, the Crowe Performance team rider immediately appeared in critical condition: despite immediate treatment, the 26-year-old driver did not make it and died, after 4 days of induced coma, due to the terrible injuries to the head. The dynamics of the accident seem clear: after the Goddard hairpin, Chrissy Rouse ran into a ruinous highside that caused him to fall on the track, where he was hit in full by an oncoming driver.
