I've been to a couple of jobs where people have been burnt (I work in the emergency services) and they have been looking me in the eye and holding a perfectly reasonable conversation with me then, a few days or weeks later, I've heard they're dead. I understand it's often not the burns but the bodies reaction to the burns that gets you. Tragic.

Indeed the house was quite a distance from the crash.

Amazing to think they crashed and ran half a km yet died from injuries.

Gotta respect you, I couldn't do your job. They're pretty impressive to have run that distance after what they went through.

Nikki Lauda's crash and subsequent fight for life is a good illustration of how it can take a while for the true nature of burns damage to become apparent, In Nikki's case his main threat to life was the fluid build up in his lungs due to the smoke damage. His problems with external burns weren't as life threatening.

Very sad news for the two people involved, RIP.

It was a Europa and sounds like it went through a hedge on takeoff frown

Awful way to go.

I understand it's often the chemical reaction caused by burns that is the killer , also if flames or high temperature air are inhaled causes more internal damage than the external burns .
This is what we were informed about on fire fighting courses for motorsport .
