Nov 19, 2007
In August of 2006, former Formula 1 driver and Champ Car World series champion Cristiano da Matta had just notched his best race of the season when his team participated in a practice session at the very long, very rural Road America road course in Wisconsin. It’s so rural that a deer ran out in front of da Matta’s car, struck a front tire, then landed in the cockpit, striking da Matta’s helmet.
An excellent on-scene medical staff did what they could, but da Matta was unconscious when he was helicoptered to the hospital. Many at the track figured they’d never seen the slight, invariably cheerful little Brazilian again.
