A horrific crash marred the IndyCar race in Toronto on Sunday, with seven cars involved in a frightening pile-up during the latter stages of the contest. Colton Herta took the chequered flag to secure his first victory of the campaign but the main talking point was the huge smash which saw one car flipped upside down.
The incident took place following a restart on lap 73 of 85 when Arrow McLaren driver Pato O’Ward spun on his own while running in sixth place. He was left facing the wrong way on the corner exit, with a number of cars smashing into him in a terrifying pile-up.
Most of the drivers involved got away with minimal damage but Santino Ferrucci was sent flying into the air, with his car inverting as it clipped the fencing before landing upside down. Ferrucci was able to get out of the car unassisted but all drivers were checked over by medics as a precaution.
