Looks like it was a very big hit.  No video yet of the incident itself.

The driver, Loic Duvall, did go to the hospital for evaluation but Audi tweeted about an hour ago that he's ok.

Quote:
Examinations in the hospital of Le Mans have confirmed that @loicduval is unhurt apart from two grazes to the skin #R18 #LM24 @FIAWEC

Audi is trying to build a new chassis in time for Thursday qualifying and in the event that Duvall isn't cleared to race they've got another driver on standby.

That's good to hear. The worse the car looks, the better job it has done protecting it's driver.

They still haven't determined exactly how the crash happened, but it was a helluva hit.
