Two women, aged 59 and 85, were injured when struck by the vehicle.

Authorities have not confirmed any direct link between the crash and the Sezoensrally itself.
What does this mean for the event’s safety measures and public access? Let’s explore the details and implications further.
How do such incidents impact the perception of rally safety on public roads? While the Sezoensrally organisers remain silent, police investigations continue. Key points include:
- The accident took place during the route reconnaissance, when public roads were still open.
- Drivers scouting the course must obey normal traffic laws and speed limits.
- Police Carma revoked the driver’s license for 15 days due to failure to yield at the intersection.
- The rally will proceed with full road closures on Saturday to ensure participant and public safety.
As the Sezoensrally continues, organisers and local authorities will likely review safety protocols to prevent similar incidents. Will this prompt stricter controls during future reconnaissance days? Stay tuned for updates and drive safely around rally zones.
