Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Fernando Alonso and wife Raquel del Rosario emerged unhurt from an accident as their private jet took off from Kenya's Malindi Airport to return to Europe.
According to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the team Renault driver and his wife were leaving Malindi Airport to return to Spain, following a break at Renault F1 managing director Flavio Briatore's luxury resort in Kenya.
"Fernando was involved in a plane incident but he and his family are fine," a Renault spokesperson explained. "His plane touched a building and damaged its wing."
"Therefore they had to postpone their return to Europe, but Fernando is now in the plane. As a team we don't have any special comment to make, but we are of course pleased that it was not more dramatic."
