Driver walks away from horrific Indy 500 crash

New Zealander Scott Dixon walked away unscathed from this horrific crash during the Indy 500 on Sunday evening.

Entering lap 54 of the race, Dixon was unable to avoid the errant path of driver Jay Howard who had lost control of his vehicle, catapulting over the top of the car and flipping into the side wall.

The car burst into flames and almost shattered completely but Dixon was saved by the high-security cockpit.
