    Exclamation Indianapolis 500 fan whose car was hit by flying tire: "Thought somebody was pranking

    Indianapolis 500 fan whose car was hit by flying tire: "Thought somebody was pranking me."

    What was initially a scary moment for spectators at the Indianapolis 500 turned out to be a story to remember for one attendee.
    With less than 20 laps to go at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, Felix Rosenqvist hit the outside wall before spinning back onto the track and slamming into Kyle Kirkwood, who lost a back tire. Not only was the crash scary for Kirkwood, as his car went upside down, but it became a suspenseful moment for the crowd as the back tire flew toward fans.


    Broadcast cameras showed the tire appear to be headed toward people in the stands before missing and landing elsewhere on the grounds. Videos on social media then showed a white car in the parking lot with some damage on its front, apparently from the tire.

    Fox had a video inside Felix's car.
    He looked pretty calm sliding down the track, upside down in a shower of sparks.

    That tire goes into the grand stand and more then likely either someone, or multiple people are dead or very hurt.
