\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlice Buckley was seen clutching her arm after crashing out of the first Trans Am race at The Bend,<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old qualified an impressive 11th in the 25-car field on Friday for her debut in the series but struck trouble just three corners into the Saturday morning race.<\/p>\n

Buckley\u2019s car suddenly slowed exiting Turn 3 and received a hit from behind that sent the Camaro sliding across the grass, pulling up after a minor front-on bump with the concrete wall.<\/p>\n

She was seen holding her right arm while being led from her Camaro to a nearby medical vehicle, before being assessed and taken to hospital in nearby Murray Bridge for scans.<\/p>\n

There she was diagnosed with bruising to the arm, but cleared of a suspected break.<\/p>\n

Buckley is understood to have sustained the bruising as the result of a gearbox failure, which transmitted a sudden jolt back through the lever when she attempted to change gear.<\/p>\n

The teen\u2019s debut appearance in the Trans Am Series followed two standout rounds in the TA2 Muscle Car class at Queensland Raceway.<\/p>\n
