A seemingly innocuous IndyCar accident took a worrying turn on Sunday at Iowa Speedway.
Driver Josef Newgarden, who sits second overall in the series, was on course for a second victory in 24 hours when he suffered the followingmath of a mechanical problem.
His car turned around before hitting the wall at a reasonable speed. Newgarden seemed slightly shaken as he got out of his vehicle, but nothing more.
However, he lost consciousness at the end of the race, although he had previously been examined.
Later, on Twitter, IndyCar revealed that he had been taken to hospital to be checked, but was “awake and alert”.
It was Team Arrow McLaren SP driver Pato O’Ward who was crowned at the end of the event, he who savored a first career victory in this series.
