Oh my, it looks like there were 5-6 cars that got airborne in that wreck. How many were injured?

Three cars airborne, one death and, amazingly, only two injuries (that were mentioned).

More video, which includes in-car. Watch as cars sail over the heads of the drivers:

Dan Wheldon test piloted a Renesis powered racecar for Team Pelfrey in the Star Mazda Championship Series last month at Indianapolis!

Thoughts and prayers to his wife Susie and his two sons Sebastian 20 months and Oliver 7 months.

RIP
