US EditionHerta Crashes Heavily in Indy 500 Qualifying, Hours After Armstrong's Practice Wreck
- Colton Herta crashed heavily during Indianapolis 500 qualifying on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Turn 1.
- The crash followed an earlier harsh impact suffered by Marcus Armstrong in practice hours before, both occurring in Turn 1 amid gusty winds reaching 30 mph.
- Herta’s car hit the outside wall, flipped onto its side, then slid into the chute before crews flipped it back upright, while Armstrong was stretchered off but both were cleared to race again.
- Traveling at 236 mph, Herta was transported to the infield medical facility and discharged roughly an hour and a half afterward. Reflecting on the incident, he remarked that crashes these days often appear far worse than the actual impact feels.
- Their teams face challenges readying backup cars given limited time in a nearly 7-hour session, and Herta may have to enter a last-chance qualifying race if unable to return Saturday.
