The Tyrone driver along with his navigator Paul Nagle moved into the outright lead this morning after Finland’s Jari-Matti Latvala crashed and retired on the opening stage.
Meeke was 56 seconds down in second place overnight and when Latvala crashed the citroen driver lead the rally by 8 seconds from Thierry Neuville of Belgium.
With a couple of stages left to run on the final day Meeke hit a wall and his event came to a very disappointing end.
Neuville won the rally ahead of Dani Sordo and Andreas Mikkelsen.
