He was extremely lucky to survive that only broke 2 knee caps and a thigh and was out of racing for over a year
Truly shocking, Johnny Herbert was following on track and when he came around Abbey corner, he found that there'd been a huge crash but had no idea where his team mate was. It wasn't until he stopped, got out and searched that he found Lamy in the tunnel.
God knows how he survived, truly horrific accident, and one caused by the team having to hack pieces out of the diffuser to meet the FIA's hastily introduced new regs following Imola (which put too much load on the rear wing and caused it to break off at high speed).
