- 5 months ago
The accident that claimed the life of rally co-driver James McIntosh, 40, occurred during the 14th special stage of the International Rally of Queensland, in the Imbil State Forest on the Sunshine Coast, Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia, some 160 kilometres (99 miles) north of the state capital, Brisbane.
It happened on Sunday, 14 July 2013. The Subaru Impreza Sti #40 entered by Brecknell Engineering & Welding, driven by Grant Brecknell, 45, from Bunya, Brisbane, went out of control on a fast section of the special stage. It rolled several times and slid down a steep embankment crashing among the trees. Co–driver James McIntosh was killed on the spot.
The pair were competing in the Queensland Rally Championship division of the international event, which was the third round of the 2013 Asia-Pacific Rally Championship. Organized by the Brisbane Sporting Car Club Ltd (BSCC), the first edition of the rally was held in 1968.
James McIntosh was reported to be of Middle Park, a western suburb of Brisbane, Queensland; it is unclear whether he was a native or a resident of that town.
