The Rally Sweden shakedown stage was halted on Thursday morning after an incident in which a photographer was injured.

The car traveled for some distance before coming to rest in a ditch beyond the second jump, striking the photographer in the process. The unnamed photographer has been taken to hospital in what rally officials described as a "stable" condition.
The shakedown was stopped for 45 minutes following the accident.
