Maria de Villota, of the Formula One team Marussia, has lost her right eye in a crash at a test event on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old driver, one of only two female drivers ever contracted to an F1 team, sustained her injuries at a British airfield after running into a stationary truck.

She was then rushed to the Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in the English county of Cambridgeshire, where she underwent surgery for “serious head and facial injuries.”

Tuesday was the first time De Villota had been behind the wheel of her MR01 car; Marussia officials are investigating the accident.
