With about an hour to go in the Thursday night qualifying, the #1 Audi R18 TDI hit the stopped #60 Aston Martin Vantage. Both drivers appear OK, however both cars are heavily damaged, and are being flat bedded to Parc Ferme. The #2 Audi R18 was being driven by Romain Dumas, and came around the Mulsanne corner to find the #60 Aston Martin Vantage being driven by Roald Goethe which appeared stopped at the outside of the turn.

The Thursday night qualifying session has been extended until 12:06 due to the red flag, and the green flag has been flown and qualifying has continued.
