As my colleague Viv Bernstein writes, the end of the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., was marred by a wreck that injured spectators and sheared the front from one of the cars. The extent of the injuries was not immediately clear. But a report the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported on some of the immediate details:
Dozens of safety workers went into the stands and have carried several people out on stretchers to a line of at least eight ambulances waiting below and behind the stands. Safety workers appeared to carry patients from at least two sections of te grandstands, while they worked in both the upper and lower decks.
Pictures posted on Twitter in the aftermath of the crash showed ambulances lined up:
A tire, and other debris, on and around the seats:
