British racing driver Edwards killed

British racing driver Sean Edwards has died in a crash at the Queensland Raceway in Australia. The 26-year-old, born in London, was a passenger in a Porsche which hit the barriers during a private test session. Edwards is currently leading the Porsche Supercup championship, a series which supports Formula 1 races. He is the son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards, who pulled Niki Lauda out of his burning Ferrari after a crash at the Nurburgring in 1976. Edwards was taking part in the second day of two-day coaching session for young drivers at the track in Queensland. The driver of the car, a 20-year-old from Brisbane, survived the high-speed crash but was stuck in the car for more than two hours.
