Vanagas wrote on Facebook that: “for the first 100 km everything went quite smoothly. We overtook six cars, it was dangerous, but we were holding on. At one point we were driving at about 150 km/h. in dust when a cow appeared just in front of the car… reaction and reluctance to injure the animal and myself forced to heavily damage the car.”
