Conway survives wicked crash at Indy!

So I was busy watchin’ the Turkish GP and just “lucked” into the last part of Robin Miller’s take upon the frightening Indy 500 accident between Ryan Hunter-Reay and Mike Conway on The Speed Report.

Miller stated that Justin Wilson thought that Hunter-Reay ran out of fuel and Conway had nowhere to go before careening airborne in a horrendous looking accident! To which apparently Conway received a broken leg and torn ligaments amongst other injuries, as I’d expect him to have multiple bruising as well... But as reported on the ABC Broadcast, Conway never lost consciousness and was taken to Methodist Hospital by Helicopter in order to avoid the Post-race traffic...

UPDATE:
Both Mike Conway and Ryan Hunter-Reay underwent surgeries last night, with Conway the worst of the two, not only suffering a broken leg but also a back injury which will keep him sidelined for a further three months, while Hunter-Reay will race at Texas with a broken thumb...
