Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti suffered a concussion, spinal fracture and broken ankle after a horror crash on Sunday (October 6) during the final lap of the Grand Prix of Houston that also left over a dozen spectators injured.
Franchitti, 40, was awake and alert when he was admitted to a Houston hospital, where he will stay overnight but will not require surgery for the spinal fracture, IndyCar said in a statement.
The crash left 13 spectators with injuries, including two who were sent to hospital, according to multiple reports.
