A bus has crashed into the starting lights a day before Formula 1 action begins on track ahead of Sunday's German Grand Prix. It looks like the driver underestimated the high of his vehicle. It looks like a new set of lights will need to be installed as the current set look unrepairable. 

It's not the first time a non-racing vehicle has crashed on track during the 2019 Formula 1 season. In the streets of Baku, a recovery lorry crashed into a bridge while it was carrying George Russell's Williams car. 

Tobi Grüner, a Auto Motor und Sport Formula 1 journalist was close to the location of the crash. He posted this picture on Twitter.
