From Yahoo news:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news;_ylt=AkzfUAQnmWop2s6kT_Dr3Mc5nYcB?slug=txf1ma ssacrash&prov=st&type=lgns Spring came off of Baricello's Brawn and hit Massa's helmet knocking him unconscious; his Ferrrari hit the wall at 120mph. Massa suffered fractures of the forehead and base of skull. Injuries are serious, but not yet life-threatening. Alonzo wins pole. On the heels of the death of Henry Surtees, son of F1 World Driving Champion, John Surtees, at an F2 race last Sunday. Same type injury scenario. Sherwood |

One thing that kept me from driving sports racers or vintage formula cars was the exposure of the head. It's not uncommon to see objects or even another car slide up the body toward the driver's head.
I hope he is OK. Christiano De Matta hit a deer at Road America in a CART car. It ended his career. |
