In an induced coma, Will Holzheimer, the young driver involved in the devastating crash that resulted in the death of international Porsche star Sean Edwards at Queensland Raceway, continues to fight for his recovery.
At 20 years old, Holzheimer is reported to be in serious but stable condition at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, having sustained multiple broken bones and lacerations.
The hospital has stated that Holzheimer, who was receiving coaching from the exceptionally skilled Edwards during the incident, did not suffer any burns even though he remained trapped in the fiery wreckage of the 996 GT3 Cup car for several hours.
While driving, Holzheimer collided head-on with a bank of tyre barriers located in front of a concrete wall at turn 6 of Queensland Raceway, leading to Edwards being killed instantly in the passenger seat.
Holzheimer has undergone brain scans, with all signs appearing positive as he remains on a respirator in the ICU.
Surgery is anticipated for him tomorrow to address the multiple fractures in his right leg.
Additionally, further surgery for his more severely injured left leg has been scheduled for Monday.
The reason behind the accident is still yet to be determined.
