I had been spectating on that stage, a couple of miles down from where the incident took place. We left after about 20 cars, so we heard the news on the radio as we were driving to the next stage (my French isn't that good, but I understood what the announcers were saying).
Apparently there is a big fast jump that is popular with the spectators. The story I heard was that a wheel broke when the car landed, and it veered off the road.
A very unfortunate incident.
But that rally absolutely rocks for spectating! I will try to get some pictures posted as soon as I can (my digital ones are on a computer elsewhere in Oregon and my 35mm ones have to be developed).
