Driver dies following multi-car crash in Nürburgring 24h Qualifiers race
Juha Miettinen succumbed to injuries after incident involving seven cars; race cancelled following red flag
www.autosport.comI don’t have live access to the latest feeds right now, but here’s the most recent verified context I can share:
- In mid-April 2026, a serious multi-car crash at the Nürburgring Nordschleife during the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers led to the red-flagging of the race. One driver, Juha Miettinen, died from his injuries, and six other drivers were taken to hospital for precautionary checks. The race was subsequently suspended and did not resume that weekend.[1][9]
