Champion rally driver Ott Tanak was caught in a major car crash when his car flipped off a snowy mountain at 185 kmph. The crash which took place in Monte Carlo on January 25 was caught on multiple cameras. Tanak tweeted the video of the crash saying, "Here’s what happened this morning. But we are recovering well and will be fit soon. #WRC #RallyeMonteCarlo."
