Nasty crash LV Indy

[wibble cb]

never a good sign when they tarp a car though, is it?

[hornet]

I don't like the way two of those cars were covered up. I'm hoping everything is ok, but it's obviously pretty serious. I can't recall a crash of that magnitude for many a year - possibly one at Texas in the earlier days of the IRL.

Medical chopper just took off. No word as to whether Dan is on board.

It feels like an age, but 20 mins from accident to chopper taking off is pretty good.

[Castrol Craig]

holy sheet thats a bad one

According to some news companies on Twitter Wheldon was on that helicopter that took off a few minutes ago.

The onboard from Power is shocking.

This isn't looking good.

[unrepentant]

Confirmed by Indycar that Dan was on the helicopter.

[LordGrover]

Confirmed Dan Wheldon was in the medical helicopter. No news of his condition though.

[sb-1]

Sky have just confirmed it was Wheldon that was in helecoptor

[Streps]

Hope for good news.

Sadly - I don't think he's made it.

There's an onboard showing a wheel hitting him. Terrible

Holy mother. That is one of the worst incidents I have ever seen. Yikes.

Fingers crossed for all.

Based on what facts? Please don't start making statements like that until it is confirmed by medical staff.

fair point - just saying what i saw. Believe me I'm the last person that would want to say anything negative.

I'm still a little stunned. You know it can always happen but blimey ...

Agreed, there is enough b.s. being posted beside that live stream above.
