Kris Meeke has crashed out of Rally Monte Carlo on day two.
The current IRC champion skidded off on a patch of ice into a bridge before sliding down a bank.
Although his Peugeot 207 didn’t sustain substantial damage, Meeke and co-driver Paul Nagle were unable to get the car back onto the road.
The accident occurred on the first stage of day two on Labatie D'Andaure-St Pierre sur Doux.
Meeke ended day one in second place, 42 seconds behind rally leader Mikko Hirvonen, who is driving the Ford Fiesta S2000 in its competitive debut.

Re: Meeke out of Rally Monte Carlo
Bad news, i was watching it on Eurosport yesterday and he was doing well. The new fiesta S2000 was doing very well too, and unlike the road version it looks great.
