Loeb crashes out of final rally

PARIS, France -  Sebastien Loeb's swan song rally ended on a bitter note when the nine-times world champion crashed out of the Rallye de France on Sunday.

The Frenchman's Citroen slid off the road on Stage 15 and ended up on its roof in a ditch, according to the official RC  website.

FOUR 2013 RALLIES

Loeb, who won a record nine titles from 2004-12, and co-driver Daniel Elena were not hurt.

Loeb took part in four rallies during 2013 after saying he would not defend his title in 2013 and won the Rallye Monte-Carlo and Rally Argentina and was second in the Rally Sweden.

Frenchman Sebastien Ogier, the new World champion, was leading the Rallye de France after winning Stage 15.
