((HT: WXIN-TV Indianapolis))
IndyCar driver Simona de Silvestro was injured in a crash at IMS this afternoon...
Her top speed during practice this afternoon was 221-plus MPH, but according to the Indy Star's Phillip Wilson, something broke on the de Silvestro machine sending it airborne before it came to rest in turn four at the speedway.
She was taken to Methodist Hospital and released about four hours later with burns to her hands and a second-degree burn to her right hand. IMS medical personnel have not given a final say on de Silvestro's condition as drivers are qualifying for the pole position this weekend...
Here's the crash, at about the :45 mark...
More when we know more...
