The IndyCar driver Justin Wilson has died as a result of a head injury he sustained when debris struck him Sunday at Pocono Raceway. He was 37.
IndyCar announced his death Monday night at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Wilson was a British driver who lived in Longmont, Colo. He was hit in the head by a piece of debris that had broken off a car driven by Sage Karam. Wilson’s car veered into an interior wall at the track in Long Pond, Pa., and he was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown.
“Can’t even begin to describe the loss I feel right now,” Wilson’s younger brother Stefan, also an IndyCar driver, wrote on Twitter.
