Driver Robert Wickens was airlifted to the hospital after this crash during Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway, after reportedly sustaining "injuries to his lower extremities, right arm and spine." The scary crash could have been even worse, as Wickens' car spun through the air and nearly hit fellow driver Ryan Hunter-Reay in the head:
This is scary how close Robert's car was to hitting Ryan's car… Watch the spinning car take out the camera pod at the top left. I love Indycar racing, but man everytime I attend a race or put it on, someone always gets hurt pic.twitter.com/jPc9LTmd77
