Sounds like they were on the first stage:

Kubica's co-driver Jakub Gerber emerged uninjured from the accident, and said he did not know what had caused the Pole to go off the road.

"We were on the first four kilometres of the first special stage. I was looking at the notes and didn't notice that the car was skidding," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Only when we crashed I saw Robert holding his arm, and after a few moments he lost consciousness.

I think his injuries resulted from a section of guard rail penetrating the front of the car and passing between the left front wheel and the engine, into the passenger compartment, which is sort of a freak occurence.
