If I remember correctly, it was at RM 5 or 7 just after the start. They radiod WM that they had hit a "G-out" and went end-over-end. A couple of broken fingers from what I heard on the air.

It had to be farther out than that because we passed them right before we crossed the highway for the 2nd time and headed out the section you ran coming in to finish the 500. The pic looks like the section along the fence where you are going around the Ojos feilds and then cut back in to the Ojos road by the dump. There was a big hole there and we kicked and almost got the fence!
