According to AutoWeek, Wickens sustained “orthopedic injuries of both legs and a broken arm.” More reports are expected today. The other drivers involved were able to get out of the car under their own power.
It took two hours of repair work to fix the fencing.
This is legitimately what the Pocono fence looks like after the repairs following Robert Wickens’ crash. I hope that’s super-duper strength chainlink and not the type I can buy at Home Depot. pic.twitter.com/onQYV5bWN6
