Canadian IndyCar driver Robert Wickens has rods, screws placed into spine
Alex Tagliani feels Ryan Hunter-Reay’s pain.
On Sunday, Hunter-Reay was involved in a scary crash with Canadian Robert Wickens during the ABC Supply 500 at Pocono Raceway. Wickens’ car sailed into the fence when he and Hunter-Reay made slight contact.
Wickens, of Guelph, Ont., had titanium rods and screws placed in his spine Tuesday to stabilize a fracture associated with a spinal cord injury suffered in the crash. Wickens remains in stable condition but is expected to require more surgeries to treat fractures in his lower extremities and right forearm.
Hunter-Reay was uninjured but tweeted Monday he’s having trouble letting go of the accident.
