It was a weird crash. It wasn’t even on the track or at high speed. She had just completed her test run and was returning to the paddock, had slowed to about 20 mph, when suddenly the car accelerated to about 40mph and was wedged in beneath a large team equipment truck. She received head injuries and lost an eye as a result.
the car did not accelerate... listen to the audio of the crash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ2lFme6Xf8
they tried to blame it on the car, but it was not the car’s fault and was cleared in the investigation
Maybe she was texting.
