a bunch of spectators were hurt, most treated on-scene, some taken to hospital. Franchitti himself suffered a broken ankle, 2 broken vertebrae and a concussion. I don't like these half-assed tracks like Houston and Baltimore. There are no run-offs and they have to make last minute track adjustments for stupid stuff like huge bumps and railroad tracks. If they were on a real course, this would not have happened- there would have been some more room right there and not a jersey barrier with catch fencing.
Indycar is turning into blood sport for the money. Instead of going to the best venues, they go where they can find sponsorship.

I do not like circuits without run-off areas in fast sweepers. I especially do not like catch fences. The construction with it's many supports, is known to kill lots of drivers.
Dario is very lucky to get away with just those injuries. Had the top of the car contacted the fence first, we would be having a completely different discussion.
Glad he's okay.
