Petter was leading the Rally of Japan (Subaru's home rally of course, so this was a *huge* deal) by a huge margin with only 2 stages to go. He hit a big ass, unavoidable rock that had rolled out into the racing line around a blind corner. Destroyed the RF wheel/suspension and put the car into the trees, ending their race, one they were on cruise-control to win.
Huge heartbreak, since Petter hadn't won a rally in a while, plus it was their home event. He had to walk away from the post race interview he was so broken up.
