Webber's Porsche 911 made contact with Matteo Cressoni's Ferrari on the final corner of the six-hour race in Sao Paulo, slammed into a track barrier and burst into flames.
The impact destroyed his prototype Porsche and he was photographed giving the thumbs-up as he was removed by stretcher. Both cars were totalled.
WEBBER TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Webber, who quit F1 in 2013, was not seriously hurt, according to a statement on the Endurance Series website. A subsequent statement on Webber's Facebook page said he was OK and had been taken for medical checks.
The statement added: "Mark is awake and alert after his accident in the six-hour race in Sao Paulo. He was taken to the medical centre for further checks."
A team mate, Romain Dumas, was quoted by Fairfax Media: "He was talking on the radio. He knows his name, he knows where he is, it looks OK."
Commentary on a video of the incident reported that he was stretchered off the track but was saving one arm at the crowd.
