As for the crew running to the car, that is probably way against the rules as that is what the safety crews are for. When I used to motorcycle road race back in the 60's and then vintage race the 914-6 at all the driver's meetings the safety head/track manager always said to never ever approach a wrecked car! His main reason was a fire/explosion could happen and then several people would possibly die, not just the driver.

I know that sounds cold but it is very true and when Walt Maas (famous Datsun driver) crashed on the front PIR straight in Wayne Baker's 914-4 and was knocked out everyone stood still and the crash crew was there in a minute or less.
