Any one else see this ?

"A Formula 1 cameraman had to be taken to hospital following an accident with Mark Webber's Red Bull in the pitlane during the German Grand Prix.
Paul Allen was hit on the left hand side by a wheel that had flown off Webber's car during a botched pitstop"




Mark Webber's pit crew had trouble fitting the right-rear wheel, and as the Australian pulled out of the pit box it worked loose and began bouncing down the pit lane.
It unfortunately struck the unaware cameraman on his back, sending him sprawling, resulting in other team members rushing to his aid.
Webber's three-wheeled car had to be rescued and pushed back to the pit box by his mechanics, where he was finally sent on his way a lap down.
Following treatment the cameraman, Paul Allen, is understood to have suffered no serious injuries, although he is currently in Koblenz hospital under observation.
