Briscoes huge crash, pics
Briscoe had yet another crash, this time it was a doozy. Luckily he escaped with just a few minor injuries.

Ryan Briscoe, driver of the No. 33 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Panoz/Toyota/Firestone, was transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis on September 12 for further evaluation and treatment under the direction of Drs. Terry Trammell and Kevin Scheid. He may remain in the hospital for several days for observation.
Briscoe sustained a concussion, two broken clavicles, a bruised lung and contusions to his arms and legs in an accident on Lap 20 during the Peak Antifreeze Indy 300 Sept. 11 at Chicagoland Speedway. Briscoe was airlifted to Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill., following the incident and was admitted overnight in good condition.
"I remember the initial contact with Alex (Barron) and thought that we might just get away with not hitting the wall, but suddenly I was airborne and the rest is a little fuzzy," Briscoe said. "I was really happy to see the Delphi Safety crew guys so quickly and they took great care of me, even reminding me to give the crowd a quick wave to let them know I was OK.
“The HANS (head and neck support) device and the safety features on the car did what they were designed to do, and I credit them for helping me walk away from the accident relatively unscathed. I was happy to hear that Alex and Kosuke (Matsuura) were OK as well. I haven't seen a replay of the accident yet but I hear it was pretty spectacular. It's been a difficult and disappointing weekend for the Target team, but I'm doing just fine."

^^ Notice the commentators in the video, "Perfectly fine", "unscathed", "walked away", etc.
Just like Paul Dana receiving "no major injuries" when he suffered multiple spinal fractures in his crash.
And notice in the second photo, the car is halfway through the catch fence. Briscoe surely would not have survived had the tub taken a direct hit from that pole. He's also very lucky that Scott Dixon drove past not a fraction of a second later.
All in all, nothing surprising.

This will be my signature until Dexter Bean qualifies for a NASCAR race. Keep chasing that dream...

Considering the size of the crash, similar to Bracks, it was minor. If he'd fallen over walking i'd have said it was serious.fp wrote:^^ Notice the commentators in the video, "Perfectly fine", "unscathed", "walked away", etc."minor" injuries indeedw00dsy wrote:Briscoe sustained a concussion, two broken clavicles, a bruised lung and contusions to his arms and legs
