Truck driven by a Czech driver Alyosha Lopraisa on Tuesday, he crashed into a spectator during the ninth stage of the Dakar marathon rally.
A video is circulating on social media, which shows how the viewer got in the way of a multi-ton car and out of sight of crew number 508, which landed on a person from a dune.
Motorsport.com previously reported, citing organizers, that an Italian fan was airlifted to hospital after the dune incident but died during the evacuation.
Loprais, who turned 43 on January 10, is the leader in the truck classification after nine stages of the Dakar. Cech is 26 minutes 54 seconds ahead of Dutchman Janus van Kasteren.
In 2019, Russian team KAMAZ-master crew Andrei Karginov was disqualified by Dakar organizers for hitting a spectator who threw himself under a car and broke his leg.
The Dakar takes place in Saudi Arabia from December 31 to January 15. The tenth stage of the marathon rally will take place on Wednesday.
