Three competitors died in crashes in a 24-hour span in the Targa Tasmania rally, including two on Saturday southwest of the capital of Hobart, The Washington Post reports.

The latest crash occurred on the final day of the 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) rally, on the Cygnet stage.

“This has been a devastating few days,” Targa Australia chief executive Mark Perry said in a statement. “We feel greatly for the family and friends who have lost those so precious to them.”

Police said driver Leigh Mundy, aged 68, of Hobart, and his co-driver Dennis Neagle, 59, of Withcott, Queensland, crashed on Wattle Grove Road near Cygnet in southern Tasmania about 11:40 a.m. local time on Saturday.

Tasmania Police acting Inspector Sally Cottrell said it was not yet known what caused the crash. The men were competing in a 2019 Porsche 911.
