Justin Wilson is still in a coma and in critical condition at an Allentown, Pennsylvania hospital as of Monday afternoon after suffering a severe head injury during Sunday's IndyCar race at Pocono.
Wilson was hit in the head by a piece of Sage Karam's car following Karam's crash. Karam was leading the race and debris from his crash scattered all over the track. What appeared to be the nose cone of his car was bouncing on the track and struck Wilson in the head. Wilson appeared to be knocked unconscious by the impact as his car then veered suddenly to the left and struck the inside wall after the impact.
Tony Stewart, the three-time Sprint Cup Series champion and former IndyCar driver, lent his plane for Wilson's family so they could get to the hospital to see him.
Karam was also taken to the hospital with a right foot injury.
Wilson, 36, was driving a part-time schedule in the IndyCar Series in 2015 for Andretti Autosport. He has three career IndyCar Series wins.
