Tragic incident at the Morocco Desert Challenge
A tragic incident has occurred today during the Morocco Desert Challenge at km 54 of the special stage. The crew 237 made of Patrice Garrouste and Laurent Lichtleuchter was involved in an incident that saw another competitor hitting the Polaris on the co-driver side at a speed of 140 km/h. Because of the dust the visibility was very reduced. Due to the violent impact the machine fall apart and took fire. In the crash, Patrice Garrouste, the driver, suffered important burns, but always remained conscient and was able to exit the car. Unfortunately, the co-driver Laurent Lichtleuchter died instantly.
“This is a very sad news and we are profoundly grieved. We lose a dear friend who was part of the Xtremeplus family for 20 years. We have no words to express this lost. Our thought and condolences go to his family. He leaves three beautiful children”, said Marco Piana, Xtremeplus team owner and manager
