 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Ralf Schumacher escaped serious injury Friday when he crashed during practice for the United States Grand Prix, a near repeat of the accident that cost him most of last season.
The German driver lost control of his Toyota entering the final corner at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The car spun around and slammed into a part of wall protected by the energy-absorbing SAFER Barrier.
He appeared to be in pain when he exited the car, rubbing his hands over his face and wincing as he waited for emergency personnel. Schumacher was cleared by the medical center, but a Toyota team spokesman said he later went to a local hospital to have his eye examined because he believed he had dirt or other debris in it.
