The rest of the 39th Rally Bohemia, counting towards the FIA European Rally Cup, was cancelled after co-driver Bohuslav Ceplecha passed away following an accident on SS3.

Ceplecha was co-driving a Mitsubishi Lancer for Martin Semerad when the pair went off the road and hit a tree, approximately 100 km away from Prague.

Semerad only suffered minor injuries in the crash.

WRC driver Mads Ostberg was supposed to participate in the Rally Bohemia, but retired after having also crashed his car during shakedown.
