"Pierre Mahaeu in the GP-46 breaks down after the finish line where he is struck from behind by Jimmy Shane in the GP-7 ""Long Gone"" at an estimated 110 MPH. Shane's boat drives pieces of Mahaeu's engine through the rear of the cockpit of the GP-46 before flipping upside down. The unconscious Shane was rescued from his hull by the safety team while Mahaeu was trapped in the collapsed cockpit of his boat which was towed to shore where he was cut from the cockpit after more than an hour. Both drivers were awake and alert when transported to local hospitals..Syracuse Hydrofest, Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NY.20/21 June, 2009, Dayton, OH USA..©F.
