SAO PAULO (AP) — Hospital officials say a Brazilian stock car driver has died from head injuries he sustained in a crash at Interlagos track in Sao Paulo.

The Alvorada Hospital says in a statement that 67-year-old Paulo Kunze died Wednesday morning as a result of injuries from Sunday’s crash.

Kunze reportedly lost control in a high-speed corner during a race and his car rolled several times.

The accident occurred two weeks after 29-year-old Brazilian driver Gustavo Sondermann died in a crash at a different corner at Interlagos, which later this year will host the Formula One season finale.
