SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WISH) - Simona de Silvestro walked away from a fiery crash at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Thursday.

A spark could be seen under her car as it broke free and hit the wall before going airborne.

After coming to a rest, de Silvestro climbed out of the car and walked toward the Holmatro Safety Team.



They just gave an update on the news, they said she has burns on both hands, and is being transported to Methodist.
