Colton Herta crashed during his qualifying run for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday, bringing a temporary halt to the session. His car went airborne and flipped upside down before hitting the wall at Turn 2. Fortunately, Herta emerged from the crash unhurt but will have to switch to a backup car for the race.
This incident marked the second airborne crash of the week, following Kyffin Simpson’s crash on Fast Friday. Herta, while cleared for competition, is preparing for a potential Bump Day run. Despite the setback, Herta remained optimistic and praised the safety measures in place. Overall, it was a challenging day for the young driver and his team.
