Peugeot number two driver, Markko Martin has crashed out of the Wales Raꦦlly GB in SS15.

Currently exact details are sketchy but the E🌜stonian's accident has forced organisers to cancel the first run through🎃 Margam. Initial reports suggest that he struck a tree on the co-drivers' side of the car. Marshals are at the scene.

Only nine drivers manage💧d to complete the 27.42 kilometre stage before the incident - Manfred Stohl quickest, having completed it in 15mins 15.2 seconds. Colin McRae was second, 1.🧜9 seconds adrift, followed by Roman Kresta, Kris Meeke, Mark Higgins, Henning Solberg, Xavier Pons and Antony Warmbold.

Mitsubishi's Gigi Galli also com🐬pleted the stage, despite going off the road and into a ditch. The Italian was consequently over 7 seconds slower than Stohl.

More to follow soon...
