The driving duo of Anthony Collins & Donal Falvey recently had one seriously nasty crash with a residential wall in the 2013 Banna Rally.

Crashing a rally car is never a fun experience, but crashing a rally car headfirst into a wall is possibly one of the worst ways to retire from a race. Sadly, that’s exactly what happened to Anthony Collins & Donal Falvey during the winter stages of the 2013 Banna Rally in Co. Kerry recently.

The crash occurs around the 3.20 mark and it’s pretty clear that the lads simply lose grip on the wet road just as they attempt to turn a corner.

The front end of the car is completely destroyed and the steering wheel was also bent out of shape following the collision, but thankfully neither the driver nor co-driver were badly injured.
