Ebony Phillips severely injured after accident at Rockingham
Ebony Phillips has been left in a serious condition after an accident that seen her get carried into the turn 2 catchfence after multiple hard hit with other cars.
Approaching the half way mark of the race, all three of the Atlantic drivers and Perrie Forrester got together while racing for the lead, resulting in Natalie Kendall and Kellan Rogers-Ashby spinning. Rogers-Ashby slid out into turn 2, where Phillips hit the rear of her car at full speed. Phillips, already with severe damage to the front of the car, went airbourne before getting hit by Christopher Mertin. This send Phillips' car roof first into the roof and catchfence, before the car slammed onto the asphalt again with the already damaged roof.
The crash damage shown heavy damage to both Phillips' roof and windshield, as well as the front end. This is the second severe accident in four years in the second turn at Rockingham, as in 2012, Ben Tremblay and Shawn Glenhooke both got killed in an incident after both cars made contact with the roofs.
The full extent of Phillips' injuries are not yet known, but doctors have revealed that she is in a critical condition, and that the next 24 hours are vital to see if Phillips makes it through or not.
Oak Treediee was not cleared to run in the second event at Rockingham, but was checked out of hospital later that night.

- Spoiler:
- Autosport France IRATE over racing quality, demands new CEO to change situation.
After the tragic events in race 3, killing driver Ebony Phillips, Autosport France's leadership was pissed being involved in a race where a driver was killed. They have asked new CEO Dean Thompson for a new, safer car. Also reports have spread in the paddock, that Rockingham may be cut from the schedule.
CEO Jean Cormier : We here at Autosport France are disgusted by the lack of safety concern in the Oval Stocks, resulting in the unfortunate death of Ebony Phillips. Our thoughts and prayers to the Phillips family.
Some AF drivers were furious about the lack of IQ by the drivers, citing some nasty incidents that were easily avoidable, according to insiders in the paddock.
