From the on-board camera it appeared to me that the 17 still had visibility out the front windshield. The crash w/the 10 did flip the hood up but what seems strange is that he was speeding up after the initial crash before he hit Danica. If he couldn’t see out the front window why the heck was he increasing speed?
He should have shut his engine down as soon as he realized that he couldn’t see the other cars.
