We'll update when we hear more, but Caswell's saying it happened because his co-driver called a hairpin a flat turn. The car is totaled.

UPDATE: Here's the word from the man of the hour:

We are ok. We entered engineers corner in 4th gear close to redline. It's a slow near hairpin corner. We got lucky. Old school BMW and german steel saved us.

There are also reports of them leaving co-driver Ron on the mountain by accident.

UPDATE 2: He sent in these pics. The car is completely boned.
