Bad crash, thankfully Wickens is alert and responsive - ( New Window )
Not to sound dismissive,

but it looked worse than it was. The car spinning like a propeller was pretty violent, but dissipated lots of energy. Glad he is alert and apparently well.
Was watching it live.

Hopefully Wickens is ok. Alert and awake is great! Afraid Hinch and Fittipaldi are banged up too.
It looks like he barely cleared over (!) another car

As he rebounded off the wall. That second driver slowed to roll in the clip.

Anyone know the outcome?
Race has 14 laps to go.

NBCSN has no updated info.
Looks like luckily he went for a crazy ride

Could of been much worse if he wasn’t just spinning
Two broken ankles, broken arm and possible fractured vertebrae...
