Two weeks after a devastating crash during the China GT in Shanghai, British driver Ollie Millroy has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. Millroy was involved in a pile-up during Race 1 of the event, resulting in his Ferrari 296 catching fire. Colleague Loek Hartog, who had stopped his Porsche to assist Millroy, played a crucial role in the rescue effort.
Millroy sustained multiple injuries, including fractures to six ribs, his collarbone, hand, and a punctured lung, which required a drainage tube. He underwent surgery to fix plates and screws to the damaged bones. The past week saw significant progress, with Millroy able to join via video link for interviews and receiving a visit from Hartog. Doctors have cleared Millroy to return home, marking a positive step in his healing process.
Reflecting on the traumatic experience, Millroy expressed gratitude to Hartog for visiting him in the hospital and promised friendship to Fran Rueda, who will replace him in the Inception Racing Ferrari for IMSA s Petit Le Mans in October. He also mentioned a positive change in perspective following the crash, emphasizing the importance of treasuring life and the people around him. Millroy thanked the medical staff at Shanghai United Family Hospital and the support from his fans during his recovery journey.
