Finnish driver Toomas Heikkenen has suffered a broken ankle and abdominal injuries in a sickening accident during practice for this weekend’s X Games RallyCross competition.

The 21-year-old fell short on the course’s 50-foot gap jump, resulting in his Ford Fiesta making head-on contact with the edge of the landing ramp.

Heikkenen is now expected to miss Sunday’s RallyCross finals, which are set to feature World Rally Champions Marcus Gronholm and Sebastien Loeb.
