The Driver sustained a broken left ankle and will stay overnight in Bronglas Hospital, Aberystwyth.

The Co-driver has sustained multiple fractures but his condition is stable and is undergoing observation in Princes Royal Hospital in Shrewsbury.

Ends.

Citroen C4 WRC driver Sebastien Loeb sealed a crushing victory on Rally Mexico today, round two of the 2010 World Rally Championship, to leap into the lead of the FIA Drivers' standings.

Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Elena seem destined to keep setting records. This time it is a record sixth world title (achieved with their 54th WRC victory) for the Citroen C4 duo but it is also probably their hardest fought.

It was an emotional final day of Rally GB for the Citroën Total WRT. In spite of having led from the outset, Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena only saw the rally swing decisively in their favour on the penultimate stage.
