The latter’s Fiat Cronos ended up bumping him off the track as he flipped seven times while inside the vehicle.

Campillay’s Chevrolet was ripped apart in the awful crash with just the shell remaining as debris and dust flew into the air.

Medics rushed to his attention immediately and the race was halted.

Reports state that the young driver is lucky to still be alive.

A statement from doctors read: “Ulises is fine. He has trauma to his clavicle and right upper limb, which at first does not appear to be serious. 

“However, we will take him to the Parana Model Clinic to perform more exhaustive studies and rule out any additional injuries, including a possible clavicle fracture.”

Further reports state a small fracture in the hip has been detected.
