Gumball 3000 Press Statement

May 3rd, 2007

 

Press release from Gumball 3000 more then 24 hours after the incident. We hope more drivers follow Team Polizei’s example and withdraw from the rally as that’s the only appropriate thing to do after this tragedy…

 

Gumball 3000 is very saddened to announce a road accident which occurred yesterday, May 2nd, involving a participating vehicle and a local vehicle in Macedonia. Exact details are still filtering through, but below are the facts as of midday May 3rd 2007 issued by the Macedonian authorities.

 

An adult Macedonian male aged 67 died in hospital from a heart attack following the incident where the two cars collided. The participants in the rally were held in custody last night with a preliminary court judgement expected today.

 

Organisers of the rally would like to express its deepest condolences to the family of the victim for this tragic accident.

 

Maximillion Cooper, founder of the Rally says: “It is with extreme sadness I have to make an announcement of this nature in the events nine year history.. The event is organised with each local authorities support and permission, and drivers are under strict stipulation by abide by the laws and road regulations of the country they are driving through. It is extremely sad for this unfortunate accident to have occurred. I am informed that the incident was reported immediately by the drivers. Both drivers are extremely traumatised by this occurrence.”

Team 74 - Dream Team are being held at the moment and are supposed to show up in front of a judge at any moment.

 

The crash involved Nick and Matthew in a white 997 driving on the wrong side of the street and crashing into an old Golf. After the crash they tried to escape in a BMW (not specified which), however they were arrested at the Macedonian-Albanian border.

 

The Golf had 2 passengers - a husband and wife. The husband, aged 67 succumbed to the injuries and died in the hospital. The wife is still in critical condition.

Update:

 

"Issued by Maximillion Cooper on behalf of The Gumball 3000 Rally - 22.30 CET / 03 May 2007

 

Following our earlier release reporting yesterday’s accident - As a sign of respect we have decided that this year’s Gumball 3000 Rally will not travel any further and will end in Bratislava this evening, May 3rd 2007.

 

As the organisers of the rally we feel that it should be stopped as a mark of respect to Vladimir Cepulyoski who died today after an accident involving one the participating drivers.

 

We are very saddened by what has happened and feel that it would be wrong to continue. On behalf of Gumball 3000, we once again extend our deepest sympathies to his family and we are doing everything we can for them.

 

This is the first time anything like this has happened in 9 years of travelling through over 40 countries with 1000’s of drivers and it is with deep regret that I make this announcement.

 

Maximillion Cooper"

ja dette var tragisk.. så synd det går utover uskyldige :( , og ikke bra dem prøvde å rømme landet i den m6.... men team police (eller hva dem heter) trakk seg med en gang.. står respekt av det. og det gumball gjorde virker mere rotete..de brukte 24 timer å avlyse løpet.. så de bør gå i tenke boksen om de skal forsette slik de har gjort eller kanskje gå tilbake til scrach .. men tiden vil vise.. R.I.P. til fører av golfen

Så Atle Guldbransen skulle altså få rett, det var bare et spørsmål om tid før Gumball 3000 skulle forårsake en døds-ulykke.

 

Jeg tror vi trygt kan si at Gumball 3000 med dette er ferdig, over og ut.
