In the closing moments of Sunday’s Indianapolis 500, the Dallara-Hondas Nos. 37 and 24 of Ryan Hunter-Reay and Mike Conway touched wheels, sending Conway’s car slamming into the catch fence between Turns 3 and 4.
The yellow flag flew and race leader Dario Franchitti -- with his engine purring with only 1.6 gallons of fuel left -- was able to basically coast to the checkered flag.
Briton Conway was transported to Methodist Hospital to treat a broken left leg, while Hunter-Reay and Ana Beatriz (also incidentally involved) were checked and released from the infield care center.
Hunter-Reay will, however, have surgery June 1 on his left thumb, which he injured in a pit lane incident.
