That was Alex Zanardi in a CART car in Germany.

The next year he came back with hand controls in the car to finish the last few laps that he did not finish due to his accident.

At home I have a picture that was taken at the moment of impact. You can see parts of his legs in the air. He was one lucky driver to have survived.
