The workers were criticized for not flagging the wreck quickly enough, (the portion that happened first), but rather just kind of stared with the deer in the headlights look, as it happened right beneath the start tower, so when the cars came under the bridge, they werent warned of the accident until it was too late. There were about 6 other cars involved.
You mean there were more cars piling into that mess? Ouch!!

I just watched it a few more times and honestly, its amazing the driver lived. This obviously is before Hans devices, how his neck didn't snap is beyond me.

It is startling how fast that other car comes up on him before he hits.

Plenty of us do DE's and other track days here. Be careful.
