This terrifying Indy 500 crash on-board is like nothing you've ever seen before.
Sunday's Indianapolis 500 had just one wreck until the final 15 laps, but the first major wreck of the day was one of the biggest at the Speedway in years. McLaren's Felix Rosenqvist lost control exiting turn 1 while fighting in the top three,hitting the outside wall before sliding back down into the short chute and colliding wheel-to-wheel with Kyle Kirkwood. The resulting crash was terrifying, but nobody was injured.
After driving his way into contention late in his second Indianapolis 500, Kirkwood finds himself upside down and facing backwards, sliding along the outside wall with a view of only what is behind him. IndyCar medical officials would arrive within seconds to flip his car over by hand and extract him.At the moment of impact, an entire wheel is sheared off Kirkwood's car.
