Turn electrical off??

Glad to hear that the person involved was OK.

Am I the only one to notice that the ignition / electrical was still on when the driver was exiting?

IMHO, if you are in a crash, turn the electricals OFF. Fires start when you mix gasoline or oil with electricity or sparks caused by shorting wires.

Of all the things my Mom (Yes she drove SCCA and NHRA for years) told me to remember if I ever got the chance to drive on a track at speed, this one and stay in your car (unless there is fire or fluids) have always stuck in my brain as key survival skills.

Funny how those words of wisdom come back to haunt you as you get older.
