Racings cars are lined up. The racer drivers are waiting for the signal to finally start the race.
When a triangle flag was lowered to signal the start of the race, it seemed like a choreographed dance as the racing cars ran in unison. The shouts of the people drowned the sound of the engines. Advertisements of well-known brand cars and oil companies and other products are lined up on the side of the stadium.
Racing cars are running their way. All racers want to reach to reach the finish line first.
Number 85 is in third place. It is about to catch up with the one in front, the number 11. At the front of the racing road, there's a sharp curve. And the number 11 in front doesn't want to let pass the number 85. The driver of the 85 hits the accelerator in attempt to overtake number 11 and be the first one into the curve.
Every time number 85 plans to overtake, number 11 blocks him. Until both cars pull over side by side. The driver of the number 85 turned to the car next to him and saw a devilish smile from the other driver.
They were nearing to the sharp curve when the one in front swerved and intentionally flipped number 85 on its side. Impatiently, number 85 tried to overtake number 11. He was cursing under his breath, he knows what the other is planning to do. And at that same moment, number 11 turned the steering wheel to the right so that the rear end of his car will slide into the side of number 85.
Which he successfully did.
Number 85 lost its balance, and it was going too fast to control the steering wheel. Its driver quick turn to avoid number 11 and caused it to crash on the side of the racetrack. The car overturned three times before coming it stopped and nearly hitting the wall.
The crowd in the grandstand shouts at what they witnessed, the number 11 also ran over the side and never made it back to the racetrack.
On the TV screen, the viewers stood up at the sight. From the overturned car, the driver is trying to get out.
Inching away from his racing car.
The driver almost crawled trying to get away from the overturned vehicle. He's away for less than two meters when the racing car caught fire and exploded, same moment, the driver falls on the ground losing consciousness.

Carmen frowned upon hearing her daughter raspy voice.
"Are you crying, Ziyi?" she nervously asked.
"Y-Yibo is in... in the hospital, Mom..."
"W-what?"
"He--he crashed during the race... and the doctors can't be sure if... if... Yibo will be disabled..."
