Jos Verstappen suffered a heavy crash during the Rally of Wallonia, flipping his car in the process but emerging unscathed with co-driver Jasper Vermeulen.

The accident occurred in the 13th timed stage in Loyers, where their Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 slid off the road, sustaining serious damage and ending up roof-side, leading to their withdrawal from the competition.

Verstappen described the moment before the crash as very dusty with loose gravel everywhere, admitting they took the corner too fast and lost control, ultimately hitting a post and spinning onto the roof.

Despite the impact, both occupants escaped without injuries, emphasizing the importance of their safety equipment in such incidents. The crash tarnished an otherwise strong weekend for Verstappen near Namur, where he had secured third place overall before the accident.
