Mark Higgins has rolled his car on the final stage of Day Two of Rally Ireland.
Needing to win this and the final round in Wales, the Manx driver had dominated the World Production Car runners until his accident.
He was leading by over half a minute and was inside the top ten of the overall standings, despite driving with a broken collarbone.
However, one and half miles from the finish, his World title hopes came to an end.
