The accident that claimed the life of the Finnish rally co-driver Pasi Mielonen occurred during the third and last stage of the 1999 Salpausselkä-ralli.
It happened on Saturday, 29 May 1999. On the approach to a right bend on a gravel road, the Ford Escort Mk1 #57 driven by Jouni Hyyrynen went out of control, speared off the track, overturned and crashed into a tree on it's roof. The car's entire roof and roll cage was shredded. Severely injured Jouni Hyyrynen eventually recovered, his co-driver Pasi Mielonen was killed upon impact.
After the accident the rally, which was a national event, was immediately stopped. In 1999 the Finnish federation introduced in some rallies the so-called "safety notes", notes without any signal on the roads. The competitors had a road book with only distances from the start of the stage. So the teams had to carry trip-meters which would have counted the distances of corners, junctions and crossroads. It was reported that the bend in which the fatal accident happened, was not signaled on the "safety notes" and this conduced to much discussion about them. Alsoin consequence of this accident the "safety notes" try-out was abandoned.
