Coulthard Injured in Plane Crash, Two Killed

Tuesday May 2nd, 2000

Briton David Coulthard suffered slight injuries on Tuesday in a plane crash 
in central France in which two people were killed, an airport spokesman 
said. Coulthard was travelling in a private Lear Jet which crashed and burst 
into flames upon making an emergency landing at Lyon's Satolas airport after 
developing engine trouble, he said.

The pilot and co-pilot were killed, the sources said.

The three passengers -- Coulthard, his fiancee and his bodyguard -- were 
given first aid by airport emergency services and taken to Lyon's main 
Edouard Herriot hospital.

"They suffered more fear than harm," the spokesman said.

A hospital spokeswoman said Coulthard's condition was "not worrying at all." 
He was undergoing tests and would remain in hospital overnight. A spokesman 
for Coulthard also added that, "He may have some bruises, but I've spoken to 
him and he seems alright."

The plane had taken off from Britain and was heading for Nice on the French 
Riviera when the pilot requested an emergency landing at Lyon because of 
engine trouble, airport sources said.


Nga informacionet e fundit te marra nga Manager i David Coulthard, thuhet qe 
ai ka dale nga spitali me disa plage te vogla, dhe eshte gati te marre pjese 
ne garen tjeter qe do te jete ne Barcelona (Spain). Gjithashtu McLaren 
spokeswoman Anna Guerrier thote : "Gjithçka qe ne dime eshte qe David 
Coulthard ndjehet mire, ai u çua ne spital per nje kontroll, por ne presim 
qe ai te jete ne gare kete fundjave"
David Coulthard, kampioni i gares se fundit ne Silverstone (Great Britain), 
thote qe do te jete gati per garen tjeter.

Nderkohe, Michael Schumacher, gjermani 2 here kampion bote ne Formula 1 dhe 
tani eshte ne krye te kampionatit, pasi mori vesh per aksidentin e David 
Coulthard tha: "Me vjen me te vertete keq per aksidentin, por me vjen shume 
mire qe ai shpetoi. Per sa i perket ardhjes se tij ne gare kete fundjave ne 
Barcelona, nuk do perbeje asnje problem per mua... per me teper do t'a beje 
garen me interesante!".
Ne te njejten kohe, edhe kanadezi Jacques Villeneuve po kalon disa kohe te 
veshtira me skuadren e tij BAR (British American racing). Qe nga deshtimi i 
plote i vitit te shkuar (0 pike, dhe asnje gare e mbaruar)ai dukej sikur po 
e rimerrte pak veten. POr ne testin e fundit ne Barcelona, patu dhimbje te 
forta ne kurriz (back pain) dhe u detyrua te linte testin. "nuk ndjehem ne 
forme per garen e Barcelones" - thote Jacques, "po megjithate do te marr 
pjese ne gare".
