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.

Alex Tagliani on top of the speed charts so far today @226.541. Danica Patrick @ 226.267. Ed Carpenter @ 225.136.

A man is about as big as the things that make him angry.

Wow. She was extremely lucky to get out of that with just some burns on her hands.
