INDYCAR’s Toronto street race had to be red-flagged after a multi-car crash.

On the 73rd of the 85-lap race, a spin coming out of turn one by Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward began a terrifying chain of events.

With the track crowded coming out of the straightaway shortly after a yellow, O’Ward spun backward into the concrete barrier.

Andretti Global’s Marcus Ericcson couldn’t react in time, colliding with the side of O’Ward.

Next up was Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Pietro Fittipaldi who hit O’Ward’s front wing, followed shortly after by AJ Foyt Racing’s Santino Ferrucci.

His No. 14 hit the front of O’Ward’s car, launching into the air off of the nose and straight into the catch barrier.

Ferrucci would eventually settle on his roof, with one of the brakes going on to catch fire.

Arrow McLaren’s Nolan Siegel would also go on to crash into a stationary O’Ward, before Dayle Coyne Racing’s
Toby Sowery collided with Siegel.

The safety crew was quick to right Ferrucci’s car, with the 26-year-old remarkably able to exit the car under his own power.

All of the drivers involved were later checked and released by medics.
